Caruso (ankle) won't play Wednesday in Dallas.

Kenrich Williams and Bennett Stirtz should see a boost with Caruso on the inactive list for Wednesday's game. Caruso's next chance to play will come Saturday in Houston.

Williams (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Williams is in danger of missing his third straight game Wednesday. However, even when healthy, he was not in the rotation.

Nembhard (neck) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.

Nembhard is still dealing with soreness in his neck and could miss a second straight game. The 26-year-old guard's absence would open up additional minutes for guys like Quenton Jackson, Braden Smith and Jarace Walker, especially if Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is downgraded from questionable to out.

Haliburton is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to left hamstring tightness.

The left hamstring issue is a new concern for Haliburton, who has yet to miss a game this season. If the star floor general joins T.J. McConnell (hamstring) on the inactive list, Quenton Jackson and Braden Smith would likely see increased burn.

Awaka (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

The rookie big man is battling an ankle sprain. Zach Collins could pick up a few extra minutes off the bench if Awaka is out Wednesday.

Toppin is probable to play Wednesday against the 76ers due to a left hand sprain.

Toppin is dealing with a sprained shooting hand, but it's not expected to keep him out of Wednesday's game. Through the first four games of the season, Toppin is averaging 15.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.5 triples per contest on 55/40/74 shooting splits.

Nesmith (hamstring) is probable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Nesmith has been slowly ramping up after missing some of the preseason and Indiana's first regular-season game with a hamstring injury, so it'll be interesting to see if his minutes are bumped up Wednesday. Through the first three games of the year, Nesmith is averaging 11.7 points and 2.0 triples in 20 minutes per contest.

McConnell (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

The veteran point guard continues to battle a hamstring strain. His next chance to make his season debut comes Friday in Miami.

Zubac (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Zubac isn't ready to return from an ankle sprain, but the veteran big man remains day-to-day. Jay Huff figures to continue starting for the Pacers in the meantime, with Obi Toppin (hand) also helping plug up the hole at center.

Embiid (foot) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

The star big man is set to return Wednesday after sitting out the second leg of Philadelphia's most recent back-to-back. With the 76ers back at full strength, Dean Wade and Adem Bona should fall into lesser roles.
