Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Quiet offensive outing
Nembhard registered four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one steal in 16 minutes during Wednesday's 123-112 preseason victory over Minnesota.
Nembhard had a relatively quiet scoring performance while starting alongside Tyrese Haliburton. With Haliburton returning to action, Nembhard's preseason usage will provide an early indication of how Indiana plans to distribute backcourt responsibilities.

Pacers' Kelly Oubre: Active in limited minutes
Oubre finished with five points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, two steals and one rebound in 10 minutes during Wednesday's 123-112 preseason victory over Minnesota.
Oubre made his only field-goal attempt and contributed defensively during his brief appearance. The veteran wing will look to establish a consistent role in Indiana's rotation as a key part of the second unit.

Pacers' Obi Toppin: Scores 10 off bench
Toppin recorded 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 11 minutes during Wednesday's 123-112 preseason win over Minnesota.
Toppin provided efficient scoring off the bench as Indiana continued evaluating its frontcourt rotation. The veteran forward should remain a source of scoring and athleticism for the second unit, though his fantasy value will depend on his playing time.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Scores 16 points off bench
Huff amassed 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 123-112 preseason win over the Timberwolves.
With starting center Ivica Zubac playing just 18 minutes, Huff made the most of his opportunities, putting up solid contributions across the board. Although Huff was somewhat of a fantasy darling last season, this season could tell a completely different story. While he could very well be the primary backup behind Zubac, it would appear as though Indiana is going to run with a lot of small-ball lineups, inserting either Pascal Siakam or Obi Toppin into the center position.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Has 10 assists in preseason win
Walker totaled seen points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 assists and five rebounds in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 123-112 preseason win over Minnesota.
Despite coming off the bench, Walker logged a team-high 28 minutes, handing out 10 assists in the process. Injuries to other players last season allowed Walker to step into a sizeable role, particularly down the stretch. While he is almost certainly going to play a somewhat muted role when compared to his late-season heroics, Walker has likely done enough to at least earn himself a consistent spot in the rotation.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Positive outing Wednesday
Haliburton finished with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 16 minutes during Wednesday's 123-112 preseason win over the Timberwolves.
Haliburton returned to the court after last playing in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals. He appeared fully healthy, showing no signs of hesitation on either end of the floor. Indiana as a whole looked much more cohesive with Haliburton at the helm, an encouraging sign for anyone considering Haliburton with their first or second-round pick. While there could be some minor limitations to begin the season, all signs point to him being fully active and ready to attack the season head-on.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Nets 19 points with four triples
Nesmith scored 19 points (7-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT) over 16 minutes in Wednesday's 123-112 preseason win over the Timberwolves.
Nesmith was dialed in from deep, and he led his team in scoring and three-pointers made despite logging just 16 minutes. Nesmith should be a reliable source of points and triples this season, but he doesn't contribute much in the other statistical categories.

Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Not scrimmaging Sunday
Jackson (undisclosed) won't participate in Sunday's scrimmage, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
It's unclear why the 28-year-old isn't participating in Sunday's scrimmage, and he's joined by T.J. McConnell (undisclosed), Larry Nance (hamstring) and Johnny Furphy (knee) on the sidelines. Jackson can be considered questionable for Wednesday's preseason opener against Minnesota until further notice.

Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Won't scrimmage Sunday
McConnell (undisclosed) will not participate in Sunday's scrimmage, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
It's unclear why McConnell is sitting out the scrimmage. The veteran point guard can be considered questionable for Wednesday's preseason opener against the Timberwolves until the Pacers offer an update on his status.

Pacers' Larry Nance: Not scrimmaging Sunday
Nance (hamstring) won't participate in Sunday's scrimmage, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Nance has been limited in training camp thus far due to a hamstring injury, though there's optimism he'll be a full participant soon, per East. The veteran big man can be considered questionable for Wednesday's preseason opener against Minnesota until more information comes to light.

Pacers' Larry Nance: Limited at training camp
Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said Nance is limited to 5-on-0 work at training camp after suffering a hamstring injury just over two weeks ago, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
There is optimism that the veteran center will be a full participant within the next one or two weeks. The injury appears unlikely to threaten Nance's availability for the start of the regular season, though his progress throughout camp will be worth monitoring.

Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Meshing well with teammates
Zubac said he's already making progress developing chemistry with Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam after getting his first extended work with the duo during the Pacers' players-only minicamp, Alex Golden of SI.com reports.
The big man said playing with Haliburton felt "really natural" and doesn't expect it to take long for the two to jell due to the point guard's high basketball IQ. Zubac also focused on improving his conditioning during the offseason to better handle Indiana's pace and revealed that he's been working on expanding his shooting range, though his primary focus remains playing to his established strengths.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Not expected to face many limitations
Head coach Rick Carlisle said Monday that he does not anticipate many limitations for Haliburton to start the season, though he noted the team will go at "the correct pace," Alex Golden of SI.com reports.
The star point guard sustained a torn Achilles in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals, though he has been fully cleared to participate in training camp and should be available for the start of the regular season after missing the 2025-26 campaign. Carlisle added that Haliburton has gotten stronger, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the Pacers manage his workload to start the campaign, especially in back-to-back sets.

Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Eligible for big extension
Siakam has been eligible since July 6 to sign a three-year extension worth up to $207 million with Indiana, according to Zion Brown of the Indianapolis Star.
Pacers general manager Chad Buchanan declined to discuss the team's extension plans, saying he prefers to keep contract matters confidential out of respect for players and their agents. Siakam's current contract runs through the 2027-28 season, so there doesn't appear to be immediate pressure for the two sides to reach a new agreement.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Will be cleared for camp
General manager Chad Buchanan said Thursday that Haliburton (Achilles) will be fully cleared for training camp, Alex Golden of SI.com reports.
With Haliburton working his way back from the torn Achilles he suffered in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals, this is a notable checkpoint ahead of the 2026-27 season. A full clearance for camp suggests Indiana's star guard should enter the preseason without formal restrictions, though his workload to begin the regular season could still be monitored after such a lengthy absence.

Pacers' James Johnson: Lands camp deal with Pacers
Johnson signed a training camp contract with Indiana on Tuesday, per Jake Fischer of BleacherReport.com.
Johnson, who spent three years with the Pacers between 2022 and 2025, is joining the team for his second stint. The training camp deal gives him a chance to compete for a roster spot this season, but it could be tough for him to make the cut after sitting out all of last year as an unrestricted free agent.

Pacers' Jalen Warley: Signs Exhibit 10 pact
Warley agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Pacers on Saturday, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Warley joined the Pacers for Summer League and could compete for a spot on the regular-season roster during training camp. However, the club already owns his G League rights, so he could be waived before camp begins. Over 33 appearances at Gonzaga in 2025-26, Warley averaged 7.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 steals across 21.8 minutes per showing.
