Lance Stephenson Exits Early During Thursday's Practice

Indiana Pacers forward Lance Stephenson (ankle) was unable to get through Thursday's practice. He has missed each of the last two games and it doesn't sound like he'll return this weekend.

Malcolm Brogdon To Miss At Least Two Games

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (head) is set to miss at least the next two games. The organization has diagnosed Brogdon with a concussion, so he'll sit out the weekend series.

Lance Stephenson To Miss Contest Versus Cleveland

Indiana Pacers forward Lance Stephenson (ankle) isn't available for Sunday's outing versus the Wizards.

Chris Duarte Still Not Healthy Enough To Play

Indiana Pacers guard Chris Duarte (toe) won't play on Sunday evening versus the Washington Wizards. The 24-year-old will miss his third straight game while battling left toe soreness. Lance Stephenson (ankle) will join him on the shelf, so Malcolm Brogdon, Tyrese Haliburton, and Buddy Hield should effectively handle most of the work on the offensive […]

Goga Bitadze To Return Versus Washington

Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (foot) will play against Washington. The big man had been dealing with right foot soreness, and he didn't suit up on Friday night in Detroit as a result.

Lance Stephenson, Goga Bitadze Cleared For Action Friday

Indiana Pacers small forward Lance Stephenson (ankle) and center Goga Bitadze (foot) have been given the green light to suit up for Friday's game vs. the Pistons. Stephenson is playing at less than 100 percent due to a sprained left ankle, but without Chris Duarte (toe) in the mix, the veteran figures to see an […]
