Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Posts 10 points at All-Star weekend
RotowireSiakam (hamstring) played 18 minutes Sunday at All-Star weekend in Los Angeles between Team World's losses to Team Stars and Team Stripes, finishing with 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists.
After coming off the bench in a 37-35 overtime loss to Team Stars in Team World's first contest of the round-robin tournament, Siakam entered the starting five for the second matchup of the day while Luka Doncic was rested after Doncic had missed the Lakers' last four games before the break due to a hamstring strain. Siakam -- who had missed thePacers' most recent game Wednesday versus the Nets due to a sore hamstring -- went a perfect 3-for-3 from the field during his start, but Team World was eliminated after falling 48-45 to Team Stripes. Though the hamstring isn't expected to be an issue for Siakam moving forward, he could still be in line for a rest day coming out of the All-Star break. The Pacers will open their second-half schedule with a Thursday/Friday back-to-back set in Washington.

RotowireSiakam (hamstring) will play for Team World on Sunday at All-Star weekend in Los Angeles.
Siakam sat out thePacers' most recent game against the Nets on Wednesday -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to hamstring soreness. However, he'll be ready to make his fourth All-Star appearance Sunday and should be good to go for Indiana's first game following the break Thursday versus the Wizards.

CBS Sports Jordan DajaniPacers' Jarace Walker: Paces Indiana in victory
RotowireWalker finished Wednesday's 115-110 win over the Nets with 23 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 32 minutes.
Walker returned to action Wednesday after missing the front end of this back-to-back set due to an illness. The third-year forward saw an increased role in the win, as thePacers were without multiple key contributors. Walker racked up a game-high 23 points, reaching the 20-point threshold for the fifth time this season. The 22-year-old has logged 20-plus minutes in 13 straight appearances and should continue to see meaningful playing time while Indiana begins looking toward the future.

RotowireThompson tallied 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and three steals across 27 minutes in Wednesday's 115-110 win over the Nets.
A two-way player, Thompson joined the banged-upPacers for the second half of their back-to-back set and made an impact. The 26-year-old guard recorded a career-high 15 points and was one of six Indiana players to score in double figures. He also set a new career high in steals, grabbing multiple swipes for the third time this season. While Thompson shouldn't be expected to enter the rotation on a regular basis, he may continue to play a role for the parent club whenever it sits key contributors.
... See More... See LessPacers' Micah Potter: Career-high 19 points in win
RotowirePotter posted 19 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes in Wednesday's 115-110 win over the Nets.
Potter shifted to a bench role after starting Tuesday's overtime win over New York, though he still saw significant playing time. The big man turned in an extremely efficient performance and finished as Indiana's second-leading scorer while setting a new career-high mark in points. He also grabbed a team- and season-high 12 boards, securing his third double-double on the campaign. Although the Wisconsin product has seen meaningful playing time of late, Ivica Zubac's (ankle) eventual return to action will likely eat into Potter's minutes.

RotowirePotter isn't part of the first unit for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Potter replaced Jay Huff in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Knicks, but it'll be Huff in the first five for Wednesday's contest. Still, with thePacers down several rotation players, look for Potter to play plenty of minutes off the bench.
... See More... See LessPacers' Quenton Jackson: Not starting vs. Brooklyn
RotowireJackson won't start against the Nets on Wednesday, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Jackson got the starting nod in Tuesday's overtime win over New York but will slide to the second unit Wednesday. Over eight appearances off the bench since the beginning of January, the two-way player has averaged 8.8 points in 11.9 minutes per contest. However, Indiana will be extremely shorthanded in the second leg of this back-to-back set, so he'll likely see a sizable workload.
... See More... See LessPacers' Jay Huff: Starting Wednesday
RotowireHuff is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Huff will supplant Micah Potter in the first unit for Wednesday's contest. Huff is averaging 10.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.1 blocks in 22.3 minutes across 30 starts this season.

RotowireBrown will start against the Nets on Wednesday, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
With thePacers shorthanded in the second half of this back-to-back set, Brown will get the starting nod in just his second game with the team. He posted eight points, six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Tuesday's overtime win over New York.
... See More... See LessPacers' Jarace Walker: Back in first unit
RotowireWalker is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Walker is returning from a one-game absence to play in Wednesday's game for the injury-plaguedPacers. In 18 starts this season, Walker is averaging 13.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.1 steals across 29.0 minutes.
... See More... See LessPacers' Kam Jones: Starting Wednesday
RotowireJones will start Wednesday's game against the Nets, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
ThePacers will be extremely shorthanded in the second leg of this back-to-back set, allowing Jones to draw his second start of the season. The rookie second-rounder has logged double-digit minutes in four straight appearances (one start), averaging 5.8 points, 2.5 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 23.8 minutes per tilt during that stretch.
... See More... See LessPacers' Ben Sheppard: Part of first unit
RotowireSheppard will start Wednesday's game against Brooklyn, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Indiana is without several key players Wednesday, opening up a spot for Sheppard in the starting five. The third-year guard is averaging 7.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 25.7 minutes per game as a starter this season.
... See More... See LessPacers' Micah Potter: Given green light
RotowirePotter (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn.
Potter was considered questionable due to a sprained left ankle, but he'll be in uniform for Wednesday's contest. Potter started and played 29 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Knicks.
... See More... See LessPacers' Jarace Walker: Available to play
RotowireWalker (illness) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Nets.
Walker is back after a one-game stint on the sidelines, and with Pascal Siakam (hamstring) unavailable for Wednesday's game, Walker should see plenty of shots falling his way. Walker has scored in double figures in nine straight appearances.
... See More... See LessPacers' Ethan Thompson: Expected to play Wednesday
RotowireThompson (two-way) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
A two-way player, Thompson hasn't seen action for thePacers or their G League affiliate, the Noblesville Boom, since last Wednesday while he's been managing a thumb issue, but the injury doesn't look like it will prevent him from playing against Brooklyn. With eight other players listed out with injuries and with Micah Potter (ankle) and Jarace Walker (illness) considered questionable, Thompson appears likely to be included in the rotation Wednesday.
