Latest Pacers News
Jarace Walker : Won’t play Wednesday
Walker (ankle) has been ruled out for Game 3 against the Thunder. Walker will miss a third straight game during the NBA Finals as he continues to nurse a sprained right ankle. The Pacers will likely keep leaning on Obi Toppin to help shoulder the load. The next chance for Walker to get back on the floor will be Friday for Game 4.
Tyrese Haliburton : Will play in Game 3
Haliburton is dealing with a lower leg issue but said he will play in Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the Thunder on Wednesday, Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports. Haliburton scored 12 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter but had a noticeable limp after Game 2 on Sunday, which could be a concern for the Pacers as the NBA Finals shift to Indiana for two games. However, Haliburton was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, so barring a setback, he shouldn't face any restrictions. The point guard is averaging 15.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.5 blocks through two games despite being the focal point of the Thunder's top-rated defense.
Pascal Siakam : Struggles with shot
Siakam closed with 15 points (3-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 30 minutes during Sunday's 123-107 loss to the Thunder in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Siakam, who was named the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals, has been relatively quiet against the Thunder so far. Through two games, he's averaging 17.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 blocks, shooting a combined 10-for-26 from the field. With the series tied at one win apiece, Game 3 is set for Wednesday in Indiana.
Bennedict Mathurin : Puts up 14 points in loss
Mathurin recorded 14 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes during Sunday's 123-107 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Mathurin, who scored a combined nine points in his previous two outings, was a bright spot in Sunday's loss for Indiana. He's been used pretty sparingly in the postseason with averages of 10.3 points and 2.5 rebounds in 16.4 minutes across 17 appearances. However, he may be better suited to make an impact against the Thunder with so many small-ball lineups being utilized.
Andrew Nembhard : Notches 11 points
Nembhard racked up 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and three steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's 123-107 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Nembhard, who was a hero in the Game 1 win for his clutch jumper in the fourth quarter, was mostly kept in check Sunday as the Thunder evened the series at one win apiece. Nembhard has certainly made a name for himself in the postseason, posting averages of 12.8 points, 5.1 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.6 steals on 46.7 percent shooting from the field.
Myles Turner : Blocks three shots Thursday
Turner contributed 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds and three blocks over 28 minutes during Thursday's 111-110 victory over Oklahoma City in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Despite both teams opting to play small at times, Turner still managed to have a tangible impact on the game, blocking three shots for the third time in the past four games. Turner has been relatively consistent throughout the playoffs, providing the Pacers with a reliable defensive anchor. Now leading the NBA Finals 1-0, Indiana will look to take control of the series when the two teams meet again Sunday.
Aaron Nesmith : Double-doubles in Game 1 win
Nesmith provided 10 points (3-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block over 31 minutes during Thursday's 111-110 victory over the Thunder in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Nesmith played his role to perfection, recording his third double-double of the postseason. Although his contributions don't always translate into stats, Nesmith's impact on the defensive end of the floor has been invaluable for the Pacers. Despite trailing by as much as 15 points during the final quarter, Indiana once again defied the odds, stealing Game 1 on the road. The two teams will meet again Sunday, when the Pacers will look to take a 2-0 series advantage.
Obi Toppin : Key contributions in Game 1
Toppin chipped in 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during Thursday's 111-110 win over the Thunder in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Toppin continues to play a key role for the Pacers despite logging somewhat limited minutes off the bench. With that said, he has now played at least 25 minutes in two straight games, scoring 18 and 17 points respectively. Both teams opted to go small down the stretch of Game 1, allowing Toppin to play as a makeshift center. Thursday's win gives Indiana a 1-0 lead, with Game 2 scheduled for Sunday in Oklahoma City.
