Pascal Siakam Pascal Siakam has 26/9/4 line in loss to Cavaleirs
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 4:26 PM
Pascal Siakam had 26 points (9-of-15 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), nine rebounds, four assists, one steal and three three-pointers against the Cavaliers on Friday.
Analysis: The Pacers fell to 2-14 with the loss to the Cavaliers on Friday, but it's been no fault of Siakam. The 31-year-old power forward has been a consistent and excellent presence in the Pacers' lineup. He'll continue to see additional usage until the Pacers start getting some players back. |

Andrew Nembhard Andrew Nembhard has 32 points in loss to Cavs
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 4:22 PM
Andrew Nembhard had 32 points (11-of-20 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), one rebound, eight assists, two steals and three three-pointers against the Cavaliers on Friday.
Analysis: This was Nembhard's first 30-point effort of the season. The 25-year-old shooting guard had scored at least 20 points in four of his last seven games entering play Friday. Nembhard continues to produce since returning from a hip injury. He should continue to see significant usage while the Pacers deal with other injuries. |

Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that the Pacers intend to sign forward Jeremiah Robinson-Earl to a standard, non-guaranteed deal.
Analysis: The 25-year-old is currently on a 10-day contract, which is his second of the season. He is averaging 5.2 points and 6.2 rebounds on 36.4 percent shooting from the field in 20.3 minutes for the Pacers in 10 games this season. |

Sham Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that the Pacers plan to waive guard Monte Morris.
Analysis: Morris was just signed on November 6 when the Pacers waived Mac McClug. The 30-year-old Morris has played just 10.8 minutes per game with the Pacers and has played a combined seven minutes in his last two games. |

Jay Huff Jay Huff has 20 points, four threes in win
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 3:58 PM
Jay Huff had 20 points (7-of-13 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, three blocks and four three-pointers against the Hornets on Wednesday.
Analysis: Huff's play and minutes aren't consistent enough, but the 28-year-old center certainly could be an interesting fantasy asset if anything changes. He has the ability to fill up the stat sheet as he did Wednesday with 20 points, five rebounds, four assists, three blocks and four three-pointers. That's the kind of varied skillset fantasy managers covet. Huff's 27 minutes played against the Hornets were a season-high and he's worth rostering in case that level of regular playing time becomes a trend. |

Pascal Siakam Pascal Siakam has 22 points, seven assists vs. CHA
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 3:48 PM
Pascal Siakam had 22 points (9-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Siakam was hardly efficient with 22 points on 17 shots, but he led the Pacers with +25 in 37 minutes of the nine-point win over the Hornets as the team improved to 2-13. Siakam has been a bright spot in the nightmare start the Pacers have had to the season. While he not only provided 22 points, he dished out seven assists and had a block and a steal. Siakam showed once again this year that he's not going down without a fight. |

Bennedict Mathurin Bennedict Mathurin has 24 points, 12 boards in win
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 3:42 PM
Bennedict Mathurin had 24 points (7-of-13 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal and two three-pointers in the Pacers 127-118 victory over the Hornets on Wednesday.
Analysis: Mathurin returned from a toe injury on Monday against the Pistons and had 25 points in 25 minutes while on a minutes restriction. The 23-year-old small forward scored 24 points in 34 minutes against the Hornets on Wednesday, signaling that he can handle more minutes. It's just two games, but Mathurin has scored 49 points and grabbed 15 rebounds already this week. After averaging 16.1 points and 5.3 rebounds last year, he could be in for a breakout season. |

Ben Sheppard Ben Sheppard replaces Jarace Walker in lineup
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 12:39 PM
Tony East
Andrew Nembhard, Bennedict Mathurin, Ben Sheppard, Pascal Siakam and Isaiah Jackson will start Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle made just one change to his starting lineup, replacing Jarace Walker with Sheppard. While he does not offer the same offensive ceiling, Sheppard is a solid defender who can be helpful in this matchup. Walker will remain in the rotation, but his inefficient offense has been problematic for fantasy managers. |

Pascal Siakam Pascal Siakam drops 29 points in loss to Pistons
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 4:25 PM
Pascal Siakam had 29 points (8-of-17 FGs, 10-of-12 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and three three-pointers against the Pistons on Monday.
Analysis: Siakam continues to solider on as the bright spot on a Pacers team that fell to 1-13 with the loss to the Pistons on Monday. The 31-year-old power forward had 29 points on 17 attempts in the loss. The Pacers will have a chance to get back in the win column next against the Hornets on Wednesday. |

Isaiah Jackson Nembhard, Mathurin, Walker, Siakam, iJax to start
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 12:52 PM
NBA Lineups
Andrew Nembhard, Bennedict Mathurin, Jarace Walker, Pascal Siakam and Isaiah Jackson will start Monday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Mathurin is back and will make his first appearance since October 25, as he returns from a foot injury. As a result, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will head back to the bench. The other change is Jackson, who replaces Tony Bradley in the starting five. Mathurin's minutes will likely be limited, but he's worth rostering given the Pacers' lack of consistent scorers. |

Bennedict Mathurin Bennedict Mathurin (toe) available Monday vs. DET
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 11:48 AM
Bennedict Mathurin (toe) is available for Monday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Mathurin is set to make his return from a toe injury against the Pistons on Monday. The 23-year-old shooting guard participated in a simulated game over the weekend. His return is huge for the Pacers, who've been dealt a brutal hand of injuries to start the season. It's unclear if Mathurin will be on a minutes limit in his first game back. |

Bennedict Mathurin Bennedict Mathurin (toe) questionable Monday
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 9:08 AM
Bennedict Mathurin (toe) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Mathurin is said to be getting close to returning from his toe injury. His questionable listing for Monday's game with the Pistons is a step in the right direction even if he's ultimately ruled out. Mathurin's return will likely happen at some point in the Pacers' next few games. |

Pascal Siakam Siakam drops 30 points as Pacers fall to 1-12
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 3:50 PM
Pascal Siakam tallied a game-high 30 points (10-of-19 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's blowout loss to the Raptors.
Analysis: Siakam was one of the few bright spots for Indiana in this one as they fell to 1-12 overall to open the season. It's officially the worst start to a season in franchise history. Not only are they without franchise cornerstone Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles), but they're also without Aaron Nesmith (knee), Obi Topin (foot) and Bennedict Mathurin (toe) right now. The 31-year-old forward has picked up the slack from a scoring perspective recently, averaging 25 points over his last three games. The injury-ravaged Pacers will attempt to turn things around next week when they face the Pistons, Hornets and Cavaliers. |

Andrew Nembhard Nembhard nets 22 points in loss to Raptors
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 3:48 PM
Andrew Nembhard scored 22 points (7-of-12 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, five assists and one block over 31 minutes during Saturday's blowout loss to the Raptors.
Analysis: Nembhard got off to a sizzling-hot start with Aaron Nemsmith (knee) out of the lineup, pouring in 11 points in the opening stanza on 4-of-5 shooting, including a trio of three pointers. He cooled off in the second quarter, finishing with just two points and was limited to just nine more during the entire second half. He and teammate Pascal Siakam were the lone Pacers in double figures as they struggled to put up points due to an avalanche of injuries to key contributors. It's a tough development for Indiana, but the lack of additional scoring threats should lead to more opportunities for Nembhard in the coming weeks. |

Jarace Walker Jarace Walker replaces Aaron Nesmith as starter
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 12:38 PM
Scott Agness
Andrew Nembhard, Jarace Walker, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Pascal Siakam and Tony Bradley will start against the Raptors on Saturday.
Analysis: Walker moves into the starting lineup in place of Aaron Nesmith, who Pacers coach Rick Carlisle expects to miss up to four weeks. Walker has struggled as a starter this year, but he should remain in that role for a few weeks. |

Bennedict Mathurin Carlisle: Mathurin (toe) âgetting close' to return
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 12:03 PM
Dustin Dopirak
Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said Bennedict Mathurin (toe) is âgetting close.â
Analysis: Mathurin participated in a simulated game Saturday morning. He injured his toe during the second game of the season and hasn't played since. His return would be a welcome one for the Pacers due to the mountain of injuries that continue to pile up. |
|
Aaron Nesmith Carlisle: Nesmith (knee) to miss four weeks
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 12:00 PM
Dustin Dopirak
Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said he expects Aaron Nesmith (knee) to miss four weeks.
Analysis: That would have Nesmith returning in mid-December. Carlisle did note it's possible Nesmith returns earlier, but that is the most likely scenario. Ben Sheppard and Jarace Walker should see a boost in minutes as long as Nesmith is sidelined. |

Cody Martin Cody Martin (illness) off injury report vs. TOR
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 11:49 AM
NBA Injury Report
Cody Martin (illness) is not on the injury report against the Raptors on Saturday.
Analysis: Martin missed Thursday's game, but he'll be able to suit up against Toronto. Martin has played an inconsistent role for Indiana since signing with them last week, but with Aaron Nesmith (knee) sidelined, Martin could play a significant role, though that likely won't make him worth rostering. |

Tony Bradley Tony Bradley scores 10 points as starter
Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 5:45 PM
Tony Bradley started again on Thursday and contributed 10 points (5-of-7 FGs) and three rebounds against the Suns.
Analysis: This was a second straight start for Bradley, and while he wasn't great, he was able to score in double figures. It close to a minutes split between Bradley, Isaiah Jackson and Jay Huff, with all three playing between 14 and 17 minutes. All of them will continue to play, but none has separated from the others enough to justify being rostered in standard leagues. |

Andrew Nembhard Nembhard scores 21 points, adds nine dimes
Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 5:41 PM
Andrew Nembhard led the Pacers with 21 points (5-of-15 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), two rebounds, nine assists and one three-pointer in a 133-98 loss to the Suns on Thursday.
Analysis: It wasn't a great shooting night for Nembhard, but he was at least able to get some offense going, which can't really be said for the rest of the team. This was an ugly loss for Indiana, but Nembhard has been productive since returning from a hip injury, averaging 20.5 points and 7.5 assists over their last four games. Things may not get better for the Pacers, but Nembhard should continue to be productive. |
