Nesmith supplied 18 points (6-17 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds and two assists over 35 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 loss to the Timberwolves.

With Bennedict Mathurin (foot) on the sidelines, Nesmith is being looked to as the No. 2 option on offense, and he's been getting plenty of shots up. Unfortunately, not a lot of them have been falling, as he's been converting just 39.3 percent of his attempts over the past two games. Still, he's posting averages of 16.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.5 triples and 1.5 assists per game over that stretch, granting him some low-end value in points leagues.

Huff finished with five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt) over 16 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 loss to Minnesota.

With both Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) and Bennedict Mathurin (foot) unavailable for Sunday's game, thePacers opted to go big and slid Pascal Siakam over to the three-spot with Huff and Isaiah Jackson starting in the frontcourt. However, Huff and Jackson combined to play 30 minutes, and neither guy was particularly impressive. Jackson finished with six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two turnovers and nothing else over 15 minutes.

Siakam recorded 33 points (11-24 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and three steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 loss to the Timberwolves.

Siakam was held to just 13 points his last time out, but he surpassed that total before the first half of Sunday's game, and he also ripped away three steals after failing to get any during Saturday's loss. Siakam is going to be the primary point of Indiana's attack while Bennedict Mathurin (foot) is sidelined, so he should have some big stat lines coming his way.

Toppin suffered a right hamstring injury during Sunday's 114-110 loss to the Timberwolves, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Toppin left the game in the third quarter and did not return due to what was originally described as a right leg injury. Head coach Rick Carlisle clarified postgame that Toppin's injury was to his hamstring, and he will undergo imaging, with the hopes of it being nothing serious. Jarace Walker and Tony Bradley could see expanded roles if Toppin is forced to miss time.

Toppin won't return to Sunday's game against Minnesota due to right leg soreness, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Toppin exited the game with 3:11 remaining in the third quarter and was ruled out shortly thereafter. He'll finish with nine points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and one steal across 17 minutes. Jarace Walker and Tony Bradley are candidates for an uptick in playing time the rest of the way.

Huff will start in Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

With several players sidelined for Sunday's contest, Huff will get the starting nod for the injury-plaguedPacers. The big man has averaged 3.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 11.0 minutes per game over two appearances this season.

Wiseman will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Wiseman started in his season debut Saturday, but he will retreat to a bench role Sunday. He still figures to see a sizable role backing up Jay Huff and Isaiah Jackson.

Jackson will start Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Jackson will make his second start of the season with James Wiseman retreating to the bench. In his previous start, Jackson saw just eight minutes, so a starting role does not necessarily mean his usage will be significantly increased.

Jackson (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.

Jackson was trending toward playing and is now officially set to make his season debut after missing time with a hamstring injury. It's unclear whether he'll start, but he's expected to share point-guard duties with RayJ Dennis, while Ben Sheppard should also see increased backcourt usage due to Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) and Bennedict Mathurin (foot) both being sidelined.

Nembhard (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Nembhard exited Thursday's game against the Thunder with a left shoulder strain and will miss both ends of thePacers' weekend back-to-back as a result. Ben Sheppard drew the start in his absence Saturday and is expected to continue filling that role Sunday and until Nembhard is able to return.

Furphy (foot) has been ruled out Sunday against the Timberwolves, Jeremiah Johnson of FanDuel Sports Network Indiana reports.

Furphy will miss both legs of the team's back-to-back set due to left foot soreness. The second-year forward logged just one minute of action in thePacers' regular-season opener, so his absence should not change much in the rotation.

Peter (groin) will not play in Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Jeremiah Johnson of FanDuel Sports Network Indiana reports.

Peter will not suit up for thePacers due to a groin injury he suffered Saturday against Memphis. With the second-round pick out, RayJ Dennis and Quenton Jackson (hamstring) are candidates for increased playing time.

Jackson (hamstring) is probable for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Jeremiah Johnson of FanDuel Sports Network Indiana reports.

Jackson has yet to appear this season while recovering from a hamstring injury but seems poised to make his 2025-26 debut Sunday. ThePacers may look to ease him back into action, though with several backcourt injuries -- including T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) and Bennedict Mathurin (foot) -- he could see an uptick in opportunities right away.

Mathurin (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Jeremiah Johnson of FanDuel Sports Network Indiana reports.

Mathurin won't play in the second half of Indiana's back-to-back set after suffering a right great toe sprain during Saturday's loss in Memphis. Andrew Nembhard (shoulder), T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Johnny Furphy (foot) and Taelon Peter (groin) are all sidelined, not to mention Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) is out for the entire campaign. ThePacers' depth will be tested early on this season, with RayJ Dennis, Ben Sheppard, Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker ready to step up.

Jackson totaled three points (1-4 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one block across 12 minutes during Saturday's 128-103 loss to Memphis.

After starting Indiana's season opener, Jackson shifted to a backup role during the loss to the Grizzlies on Saturday. He did play four more minutes in this one, but that could have been a result of game script with Memphis up by as much as 30 at one point. Jackson is coming off an Achilles tear he suffered in November last season, so it's likely thePacers will ease him into a bigger workload as the season progresses.

Toppin posted 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes during Saturday's 128-103 loss to the Grizzlies.

Toppin finished tied for second on thePacers in scoring with 13 points while leading them in rebounding. Bennedict Mathurin (foot) didn't play the fourth quarter in Saturday's loss, and if he is unable to go when Indiana visits Minnesota less than 24 hours later, Toppin could be next in line to start.

Wiseman provided four points (2-3 FG), four rebounds and one block across 20 minutes during Saturday's 128-103 loss to Memphis.

After not playing during Indiana's season opener, Wiseman started and played 20 minutes in their loss to Memphis on Saturday. FourPacers centers received minutes in the blowout defeat, and that trend could certainly continue in their road matchup against the Timberwolves on Sunday.

Siakam totaled 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one block across 26 minutes during Saturday's 128-103 loss to the Grizzlies.

Following his 32-point, 15-rebound performance in thePacers' season opener on Thursday, Siakam was limited to just 26 minutes in their 25-point loss to the Grizzlies on Saturday. Memphis jumped out to a double-digit lead in the second quarter and never relinquished it, going up by as many as 30 points during the final frame. If Bennedict Mathurin (foot) misses any time moving forward, Siakam becomes the focal point of Indiana's offense.
