Indiana Pacers

Aaron Nesmith

G

Probable tags have been par for the course for Nesmith lately, so this isn't a major concern for fantasy managers. A maintenance day is likely to be in his near future, however, along with several other key Pacers.

Andrew Nembhard

G

Nembhard has been a regular on the injury report of late due to neck and back soreness, though he has played in each of Indiana's last two games. If he's unable to suit up Sunday, Kam Jones and Quenton Jackson would be candidates for increased playing time.

Ivica Zubac

C

Zubac's debut continues to be put on hold as he recovers from his ankle sprain. The Pacers are being very cautious with their new addition, but recent reports have suggested that he's getting closer.

Pascal Siakam

F

This appears to be a minor issue for Siakam, but it's worth monitoring closely with how cautious the team has been. With a back-to-back set coming up on March 12 and 13, a maintenance day could be in his near future.

Johnny Furphy

G

Furphy started in 21 of 35 regular-season appearances for the Pacers, posting averages of 5.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.7 three-pointers in 18.4 minutes per contest. While no timetable has been announced, Furphy's absence could extend through the beginning of the 2026-27 season. With this news, the Pacers will likely lean more on Ben Sheppard, Kam Jones and Quenton Jackson moving forward.

Tyrese Haliburton

G

Back in July, the Pacers ruled Haliburton out for the 2025-26 season shortly after the star point guard underwent surgery to address the Achilles tendon he tore in Indiana's loss to Oklahoma City in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. While the Pacers' stance with Haliburton doesn't appear to have changed amid a non-contending season, the 25-year-old is seemingly coming along even faster than anticipated during his rehab process. If Haliburton is able to advance to 5-on-5 work by the spring, he'll likely be in line for a relatively normal offseason and should be free of restrictions for the start of training camp next fall.
