Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports that Indiana Pacers guard/forward
Ben Sheppard (toe) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Due to a sprained left toe, Sheppard has been downgraded from questionable to unavailable. Thursday's game will be the third he's missed in a row because of the injury. The 23-year-old not playing won't impact fantasy much this evening, as he's averaged just 5.3 points during 19.5 minutes per contest across 63 games during the 2024-25 campaign.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward
Ben Sheppard (toe) has been labeled as questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Washington Wizards. A toe injury might lead to a second consecutive absence for Sheppard, who is averaging 5.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in 19.5 minutes for the season. Sheppard is a valuable member of the rotation, but his game is not suited for fantasy basketball.
Aaron Nesmith and
Bennedict Mathurin, who tend to be significantly more productive, will likely share the leftover minutes on Tuesday night if Sheppard cannot return.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward
Ben Sheppard (oblique) is good to go for Monday's meeting with Golden State. The team has upgraded him from questionable to available. The 22-year-old has averaged over 20 minutes a night across the season, but Sheppard's contributions haven't been good enough for fantasy managers. He has been limited to 6.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.1 assists. Sheppard likely isn't quite at his best either at the moment after only recently returning from a 14-game absence.

Indiana Pacers guard
Ben Sheppard (oblique) has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This will mark his eighth consecutive missed game with a strained oblique. If
Andrew Nembhard (questionable - knee) can suit up, he'll soak up some of the available minutes.
Bennedict Mathurin and
T.J. McConnell have been getting the added opportunities in the meantime.
