Wilson exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Wednesday's game against San Antonio due to an apparent hand injury, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

Wilson was spotted holding his hand while heading back to the locker room. The rookie forward can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light.

Siakam supplied 28 points (7-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 12-12 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal across 32 minutes in Wednesday's 114-101 win over Washington.

Siakam didn't deliver his most efficient shooting performance, though he got to the charity stripe frequently and finished with a game-high scoring total. The star forward was also second on the Pacers in rebounds and dished out at least five assists for a third straight game. He's reached the 20-point threshold in four consecutive contests, shooting 53.1 percent from the field over that stretch.

Horford will start in Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

Horford will enter the starting lineup for the first time in 2026-27. The 40-year-old veteran started 13 times during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 10.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.4 blocks over 23.7 minutes per outing in those appearances.

Santos won't start Wednesday's game against Houston.

Al Horford will replace Santos in the first unit Wednesday. The 24-year-old forward is averaging 6.1 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 19.1 minutes per showing across eight regular-season appearances (six starts).

Nesmith will not return to Wednesday's game against the Wizards due to right knee soreness. He'll finish with two points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 22 minutes.

Nesmith struggled mightily before exiting Wednesday's contest, and his next chance to suit up will come Friday against New York. If he's forced to miss time, Jarace Walker and Quenton Jackson would be candidates for increased burn.

Okogie won't start Wednesday's game against Orlando.

Keyonte George (ankle) is back in the lineup, sending Okogie to the bench. The veteran wing has averaged 3.4 points and 3.2 rebounds in 18.6 minutes per contest across nine appearances off the bench this season.

Da Silva (calf) is listed as out for Wednesday's game versus the Jazz.

Da Silva will miss his second consecutive contest. With Orlando also down Paolo Banchero (ankle), Jalen Suggs (knee) and Jamal Cain (shoulder), head coach Sean Sweeney will shuffle things around, resulting in Alex Morales making his first career start. Goga Bitadze and Jase Richardson are in line for more minutes off the bench.

Morales will start Wednesday's game against Utah.

With the Magic extremely shorthanded in the second leg of this back-to-back set, Morales is drawing the first start of his career. The two-way player logged a career-high 29 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Kings, during which he posted seven points and seven rebounds.

Cain (shoulder) is out for Wednesday's game in Utah.

With Cain inactive, Alex Morales will draw the start, and there will be more minutes available for Jase Richardson. For now, Cain should be considered questionable for Friday's matchup with Milwaukee.

George (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Magic.

George is back after a one-game absence, and his return will likely push Josh Okogie back to the second unit and Isaiah Collier's minutes will likely dip. With Lauri Markkanen (hand) set to miss at least the next month, George should be operating with a hefty usage rate moving forward.
