T.J. McConnell Questionable To Play On Wednesday
T.J. McConnell (ankle) is on the injury report as questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Toronto Raptors. On Sunday, he sprained his right ankle in a game against the Los Angeles Clippers and wasn't in the lineup for Monday night's action against the Denver Nuggets. With McConnell out of commission, starting point guard Tyrese Haliburton (groin) logged 40 minutes on Monday. However, Indiana also lists Haliburton as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game. If both players are out, Andrew Nembhard will likely handle most of the playmaking Wednesday night, with Ben Sheppard and Bennedict Mathurin in line for more playing time.
