He averaged 1.2 blocks per game to go […]

Pacers Showing Interest In Harrison Barnes

Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. The 31-year-old has already mentioned that he wants to remain with the Kings next season. However, he also acknowledged that the NBA is a business, so he'll move on if the two sides can't come to an agreement. It sounds […]

Pacers Looking To Trade Seventh Pick For Starting-Caliber Wing

According to Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report, the Indiana Pacers are looking to trade the No. 7 pick of next week's draft for a starting-caliber wing.

The Top Move Each NBA Lottery Team Must Make This Offseason

The play-in tournament was created to put an end to "tanking" once and for all, but it hasn't quite worked that way. Tanking is still a thing, as NBA teams don't want to be stuck in "No Man's Land," the middle zone of a seventh to 10th-place finish. And, who can blame them? As of […]

Buddy Hield Not A Lock To Return To Indiana

Indiana Pacers president Kevin Pritchard declined to comment if Buddy Hield would remain with the organization moving ahead. The 30-year-old finished the 2022-23 campaign by averaging 16.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.2 steals. He also shot 42.5% from deep. Indiana is in rebuilding mode, so parting ways with Hield, who has one year […]

T.J. McConnell Out Versus Detroit

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell (hip) won't play against the Pistons. The veteran has a sore hip, so he'll join Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) and Chris Duarte (ankle) on the sidelines. As a result, Andrew Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin should absorb most of the backcourt minutes. However, Gabe York, who scored nine points in 14 minutes […]

Myles Turner Downgraded To Out

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) won't play on Friday against the Pistons. No surprise here, as Turner has missed the last six games because of left ankle soreness. Jalen Smith (knee) is also out, meaning Isaiah Jackson should draw the start. Jackson has averaged 10.9 points, 6.0 boards, 2.5 blocks, and 1.1 steals in […]

Jalen Smith Sidelined Against Detroit

Indiana Pacers forward/center Jalen Smith (knee) won't suit up on Friday against Detroit because of right knee soreness. Myles Turner (ankle) is out also, meaning Isaiah Jackson, who will likely start, will see a substantial increase in fantasy attention. Jackson has averaged 10.9 points, 6.0 boards, 2.5 blocks, and 1.1 steals in 10 starts in […]

Tyrese Haliburton Will Miss Sixth Consecutive Game

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) has seemingly been shut down for the remainder of the season as he's missed the last five games and hasn't even been upgraded to questionable for most of these absences. The third-year guard will most likely finish as a top three most improved player of the year finalist as […]

Myles Turner Tagged As Questionable Versus Detroit

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) has been forced to miss the last six games due to the same ankle issue he's dealing with currently. Since the Pacers have nothing left to play for, it wouldn't be surprising if he gets downgraded from questionable to out again on Friday against the Detroit Pistons. The 27-year-old […]
