BUDDY HIELD NEWS

Plays 40 minutes Sunday Hield posted 13 points (6-19 FG, 1-13 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Sunday's 129-120 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact For the second straight game since coming over from Sacramento, Hield crossed the 40-minute threshold -- something he did only four times in 55 appearances this season for the Kings. Chris Duarte (toe) exiting the game in the first quarter certainly helped, but the Pacers appear intent on Hield being a bigger part of the offense, even on nights when he's ice-cold from three-point land. At some point, the Pacers could get Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) back, but until that happens, Hield should continue to see big minutes alongside fellow new addition Tyrese Haliburton. The eventual return of T.J. Warren (foot) could also impact Hield, though Warren hasn't played in an NBA game since December of 2020.

Nears triple-double in debut Hield had 16 points (6-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds and eight assists over 40 minutes during Friday's 120-113 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Hield had started just six games for Sacramento to begin the season, but he joined the starting lineup during his debut with the Cavaliers and matched his second-highest minutes total of the season. The 29-year-old came within a rebound of a double-double and flirted with a triple-double with a team-high eight assists. While Hield had a slightly inconsistent role with the Kings, it appears as though he'll have more opportunities to contribute in Cleveland.

Starting in debut Hield will start in Friday's debut for the Pacers against the Cavaliers, James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Hield hasn't started a game since Dec. 22, and he'll get the nod in his debut for his new team. It's possible that changes when Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) is available, but his persistent injury woes could pave the way for Hield to have increased fantasy value down the stretch. In six starts this season, Hield has averaged 17.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.7 steals in 37.3 minutes.

Expected to debut Friday Hield is expected to make his debut for the Pacers on Friday against the Cavaliers, James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Hield was traded from Sacramento on Tuesday. The 29-year-old is in the middle of the worst shooting season of his career, shooting just 38.2 percent from the field and 36.9 percent from deep, both career lows. However, Hield may still see a lot of playing time with Malcolm Brogdon still nursing an Achilles injury.

Traded to Indiana Hield was traded to the Pacers from the Kings on Tuesday along with Tyrese Haliburton and Tristan Thompson in exchange for Domantas Sabonis, Jeremy Lamb, Justin Holiday and a futur...

Impact While Haliburton and Sabonis are the two headliners, the Kings were able to rid themselves of Hield's salary, as he's set to make $21.2 million next season and north of $19.2 million in 2023-24. Hield remains one of the NBA's best high-volume three-point threats, but he doesn't offer much else -- both in real life or in fantasy basketball. In 55 appearances for the Kings this season, Hield averaged 14.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.3 made three-pointers while shooting a career-worst 36.8 percent from deep. He'll likely fill a similar role in Indiana, especially with both Lamb and Holiday now out of the picture. Hield may even slide into the starting lineup if Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) continues to miss time.

Lone double-digit scorer Tuesday Hield notched 11 points (4-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 128-75 loss to the Celtics.

Impact The fact that Hield was the only double-digit scorer for the Kings in this game speaks volumes of how badly the team struggled on offense. He could not escape those woes either since he needed 14 shots just to record 11 points. Hield and the entire Kings offense will try to bounce back when facing the Hawks on the road Wednesday.

Explodes in loss Hield finished Sunday's 118-112 loss to Houston with 27 points (9-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and four steals in 30 minutes.

Impact Hield was active defensively and looked comfortable in his sixth man role. While it isn't clear if he'll remain there while Tyrese Haliburton (COVID-19 protocols) is absent, shareholders should be encouraged by Sunday's performance. After a tough December, Hield has rallied across nine January contests, averaging 16.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game on a 42.9/44.3/86.7 slash line.
