Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Out Friday, no timetable for return
Head coach Rick Carlisle said Friday that Sheppard is without a timetable to return due to a left meniscus injury, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Sheppard sustained the knee injury in Wednesday's season-opening win over New Orleans and can be considered week-to-week until the Pacers provide an update on his progress. Quenton Jackson and Jarace Walker are candidates for increased playing time with Sheppard on the sidelines.

Sheppard (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks.
Sheppard is in jeopardy of missing Friday's contest due to left knee soreness. If he's ultimately ruled out, Quenton Jackson and Jarace Walker would likely see increased burn, especially if Aaron Nesmith (hamstring) remains sidelined.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Headed to bench
Sheppard will come off the bench in Friday's preseason finale against the Bucks, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Sheppard started in Tuesday's exhibition with Andrew Nembhard (undisclosed) unavailable, but Nembhard is back and starting, so Sheppard will retreat to a reserve role. As a member of the second unit this preseason, Sheppard is averaging 7.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 triples in 19.2 minutes per game.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Struggles Saturday
Sheppard mustered two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one assist, one rebound and one steal in 16 minutes during Saturday's 119-117 preseason loss to the Hawks.
After scoring 13 points on 4-of-9 shooting in Wednesday's preseason-opening win over Minnesota, Shepard was far less productive Saturday. The 25-year-old guard provided a muted impact on offense but recorded his third steal of the preseason. He'll face competition for playing time from Kelly Oubre, Quenton Jackson and Jarace Walker to begin the regular season.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Plays key role for Pacers
Sheppard continued to provide valuable depth on the wing during the 2025-26 campaign, carving out minutes with his perimeter shooting and defensive effort.
Although Indiana's veteran core limits his offensive opportunities, the organization continues to value his ability to play within the system. Sheppard's role could be reduced entering the 2026-27 season, however, as the Pacers will be getting Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) back in the mix.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Quiet outing in win
Sheppard racked up five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes during Sunday's 135-118 win over Miami.
The Pacers continue to mix up their lineups with nothing but lottery balls in play down the stretch. Ethan Thompson and Quenton Jackson started on the wings, but Sheppard logged more minutes than both. Even so, he may be difficult to trust in the final couple of weeks outside of very deep formats.
