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' Jalen Slawson: Makes impact off bench
Slawson managed 12 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 13 minutes during Saturday's 119-117 preseason loss to the Hawks.
Slawson was efficient from the field in his limited playing time, finishing as Indiana's third-leading scorer while pacing the second unit. The 26-year-old forward is on a two-way pact and figures to spend the majority of his time with Indiana's G League affiliate, the Noblesville Boom, in 2026-27.

Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Efficient shooting in narrow loss
Nembhard finished with 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), a rebound and three assists across 22 minutes in Saturday's 119-117 preseason loss to the Hawks.
Nembhard delivered an efficient shooting performance, and the coaching staff closely monitored his playing time, as it did for each projected starter. Fantasy managers shouldn't worry too much about the playing time limitations or limited contributions. Nembhard is set to open the season as the starting shooting guard next to Tyrese Haliburton in the Pacers' backcourt.

Pacers' Kelly Oubre: Drains three triples in loss
Oubre registered 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and a rebound across 20 minutes in Saturday's 119-117 preseason loss to the Hawks.
The veteran wing, who started in place of Tyrese Haliburton (rest), provided valuable floor spacing for Indiana's starting unit, finishing with a plus-5 rating. His contributions were primarily concentrated on scoring, as he recorded no assists, steals or blocks, but his shooting efficiency stood out during his limited playing time. Oubre's ability to knock down perimeter shots should help Indiana generate offense throughout the season, and while he's ticketed for a bench role to open the season, he should remain a valuable fantasy contributor thanks to his scoring prowess.

Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Contributes on both ends
Siakam recorded 13 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 22 minutes in Saturday's 119-117 preseason loss to the Hawks.
Siakam had a relatively quiet shooting performance but compensated by posting solid numbers in other areas -- he dished out four assists without committing a turnover and recorded two blocks, showcasing his ability to provide value beyond scoring. Siakam played 22 minutes as Indiana distributed playing time across its roster, but the limited playing time is only a way to manage the workload with the start of the regular season right around the corner. Expect Siakam to be a key player for the Pacers thanks to his combination of playmaking, scoring and defensive production, making him a reliable two-way threat for Indiana.

Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Doesn't play Saturday
McConnell (undisclosed) did not play during Saturday's 119-117 preseason loss to the Hawks.
McConnell has not been practicing and has not played this preseason, but the Pacers have not disclosed exactly what he's dealing with. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in Oklahoma City.

Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Scores 11 points with five boards
Zubac totaled 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block over 21 minutes in Saturday's 119-117 preseason loss to the Hawks.
Zubac looks healthy, which is great to see after he was limited to just 48 games last season (five with the Pacers). He's been pretty durable throughout his career, so Zubac appears primed for a bounce-back season as the main man in the middle for Indiana.

Pacers' Larry Nance: Logs 12 minutes off bench
Nance (hamstring) registered six points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 12 minutes in Saturday's 119-117 preseason loss to the Hawks.
Nance was limited at camp and missed Indiana's first preseason game while nursing a hamstring injury, but he's since been fully cleared and looks ready for the start of the 2026-27 season. Nance will help back up Pascal Siakam and Ivica Zubac, but as long as those two are healthy, it'll be tough for him to earn enough minutes to become fantasy relevant.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Won't play Saturday with right ankle injury
Haliburton will not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Hawks due to a right ankle injury, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Haliburton tweaked his right ankle during the Pacers' preseason game against the Timberwolves on Wednesday, when he played 16 minutes and finished with seven points, six rebounds, two blocks and one steal in a 123-112 win for Indiana. The good news for Haliburton is that his ankle issue is not related to the Achilles injury that caused him to miss the entire 2025-26 season. His next chance to play is Tuesday against the Thunder.

Pacers' Larry Nance: Practices Friday
Nance (hamstring) practiced Friday, per Tony East of Forbes.com.
Nance has a chance to make his preseason debut Saturday against the Hawks. The veteran big man signed a one-year deal with the Pacers over the summer and is penciled in as the No. 2 center behind Ivica Zubac.

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: Playing in preseason opener
Jackson (undisclosed) is set to play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Jackson didn't participate in Sunday's scrimmage, though he's set to return to action Wednesday. The 28-year-old is expected to provide backcourt depth for the Pacers in 2026-27.
