T.J. McConnell Plays Best Game Of The Year Friday
T.J. McConnell did a little bit of everything in Friday's 110-106 loss to the Trail Blazers. McConnell chipped in a season-high 19 points on 61.5 percent shooting from the field while knocking down 3 of 4 three-point attempts- though his contributions across each category- seven rebounds, two assists, two steals, and a block- were equally valuable. The veteran guard took advantage of fellow guard Malcolm Brogdon's absence- and he is virtually a lock to play 30-plus minutes anytime he latter doesn't suit up. McConnell can even provide value off the bench in threes, assists, and steals when Brogdon is active.

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.
