Pacers' Larry Nance: Makes impact on defense Friday
Nance produced six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals in 18 minutes off the bench during Friday's 145-125 loss to Miami.
The journeyman big has seen a bigger role with Ivica Zubac (ankle) on the shelf, and over four games since the Pacers' starting center got injured, Nance has averaged 20.5 minutes while contributing 4.8 points, 4.0 boards, 1.8 steals, 1.0 threes, 0.8 assists and 0.5 blocks. With Obi Toppin (back) out Friday as well, Nance could see his usage increase even more, but he hasn't averaged 20-plus minutes over a full season since 2022-23 with the Pelicans.

Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Leading scorer from second unit Friday
Jackson contributed 24 points (9-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals in 24 minutes off the bench during Friday's 145-125 loss to Miami.
The 24 points led the Pacers on the night, and the performance fell one point shy of the career high he set Nov. 1, 2025 against the Warriors. Jackson came into the night having scored just 25 total points in his first five games of the season, but with Indiana's backcourt shredded by injuries to Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring), T.J. McConnell (hamstring) and others, Jackson should continue seeing an elevated role in the short term. On the season, the fifth-year guard is averaging 8.2 points, 2.8 assists, 2.3 boards and 1.2 steals in 19.3 minutes.

Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Ties career high in threes Friday
Nembhard finished with 22 points (8-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and nine assists over 30 minutes in Friday's 145-125 loss to Miami.
Nembhard shot a rough 1-for-7 from deep in Wednesday's loss to Philadelphia. However, he put that behind him Friday to tie his career-high in three-pointers. Nembhard has combined for 32 field goal attempts in his last two games, and with Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) sidelined, he is expected to be more involved on both ends of the floor moving forward.

Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Upgraded to available
Nembhard (neck) is listed as available for Friday's game against Miami.
Nembhard has been plagued by neck stiffness. He didn't play in Monday's meeting with the Bucks but was back on the floor for Wednesday's 114-109 loss to the 76ers. The 26-year-old has played well in his four regular-season appearances in 2026-27, averaging 16.5 points, 7.8 assists and 2.0 rebounds across 32.8 minutes per contest. With Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) sidelined for at least a couple of weeks, Nembhard may continue to see more scoring opportunities than usual.

Pacers' Obi Toppin: Ruled out Friday
Toppin (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Miami.
Toppin was a late addition to the injury report before being ruled out due to lower-back soreness. His next chance to play will come Sunday against Brooklyn. In the meantime, Jarace Walker and Jalen Slawson are candidates for increased playing time.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Good to go Friday
Nesmith (hamstring) is available to play in Friday's game against Miami.
Nesmith has been battling a hamstring injury. He didn't suit up for the 123-120 loss to New Orleans on Opening Night but has been on the floor for Indiana's last four regular-season games. The 2020 No. 14 overall pick may continue to operate under a minutes restriction, though he logged a season-high 27 minutes in Wednesday's 114-109 loss to Philadelphia.

Pacers' Obi Toppin: Added to injury report
Toppin (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat.
Toppin is a late addition to the injury report with a back issue. Kelly Oubre and Jarace Walker would in line for more playing time if Toppin sits outs Friday.

Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Practicing at G League camp
McConnell (hamstring) is practicing in the G League at Noblesville Boom training camp, per Alex Golden of SI.com.
McConnell appears to closing in on making his season debut for the Pacers, though it won't come Friday in Miami. Indiana returns home for a back-to-back set Sunday against the Nets and Monday versus the Hawks, so the veteran floor general's return could come at some point then.

Pacers' Johnny Furphy: Practicing in G League
Furphy (knee) is practicing with the G League's Noblesville Boom, per Alex Golden of SI.com.
The Pacers have been pretty quiet regarding Furphy's ACL recovery since the offseason, but it's encouraging to hear some form of progress as the forward begins to ramp up his activity. Although Furphy still lacks a firm timetable for a return and is likely to be brought back slowly, it appears a season debut before the start of the new calendar year is in the cards.

Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Probable for Friday
Nembhard (neck) is listed as probable for Friday's game against Miami.
Nembhard has been battling some lingering neck stiffness, though he's likely to play Friday. He's coming off an 18-point, 14-assist double-double in Wednesday's loss to Philadelphia and should continue taking on increased playmaking responsibilities in Tyrese Haliburton's (hamstring) stead.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Expected to play Friday
Nesmith (hamstring) is probable for Friday's game against the Heat.
The Pacers continue to monitor Nesmith's health while he works back from a hamstring injury. The sharpshooter has watched his minutes climb incrementally in each of his last three appearances, so it's possible Nesmith will be ready for a larger workload Friday.

Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Still out with ankle sprain
Zubac (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Heat.
The Pacers continue to view the veteran big man as day-to-day due to an ankle sprain. Jay Huff figures to continue to start at center for the Pacers on Friday, while Obi Toppin could see a larger share of the frontcourt minutes.

Pacers' Kelly Oubre: Solid scoring effort
Oubre finished with 15 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 114-109 loss to the 76ers.
Oubre provided efficient secondary scoring for Indiana, reaching double figures while shooting 50 percent from the field. The veteran wing logged 30 minutes and finished as one of five Pacers to score at least 13 points. His playing time gives him opportunities to contribute in multiple categories, though his modest rebounding and defensive production limited his overall fantasy impact Wednesday.

Pacers' Jalen Slawson: Increased role in loss
Slawson registered two points (2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 114-109 loss to the 76ers.
Slawson played double-digit minutes for the second time this season, providing serviceable defensive contributions. Indiana is without both Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) and Ivica Zubac (ankle), meaning there are minutes up for grabs. Should Slawson manage to carve out a 20-minute per-night role for himself, he could make sense as a defensive streamer, even in standard formats.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Start yields nothing Wednesday
Huff accumulated three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists in 16 minutes during Wednesday's 114-109 loss to Philadelphia.
Huff remained in the starting lineup, although he saw just 16 minutes of playing time. With Ivica Zubac sidelined due to an ankle injury, Huff seemingly has the starting center spot locked up. However, as we saw Wednesday, that does not mean he is going to play starter-level minutes, much like we saw last season. He can be considered in standard leagues, although his upside is completely tied to his block numbers, something he has failed to do in three of his four games thus far.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Continues to ramp up Wednesday
Nesmith racked up 18 points (5-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 114-109 loss to the 76ers.
Nesmith logged a season-high 27 minutes, an encouraging sign after being limited to roughly 20 minutes per game through his first three appearances. The additional playing time led to increased production, something he is going to have to do more of after Tyrese Haliburton was earlier ruled out for at least two weeks due to a hamstring injury. While Nesmith doesn't have the highest ceiling, he is worth considering in standard leagues, at least until Haliburton is cleared to return.

Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Another double-double effort
Siakam finished with 26 points (11-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes in Wednesday's 114-109 loss to Philadelphia.
Siakam led his team in scoring and nearly tied Tyrese Maxey for the game high. It was a solid showing from the 2016 No. 27 overall pick, who recorded his second consecutive double-double. With Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) sidelined for at least a couple of weeks, there will be room for others to step up. However, Siakam is expected to be the team's top producer more often than not until Haliburton is back on the floor.
