Heading to Philadelphia Hield is being traded from the Pacers to the 76ers on Thursday in exchange for Marcus Morris, Furkan Korkmaz and three second-round picks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Hield has been mentioned in trade rumors for several years, and he'll be on the move in the final year of his contract. The 31-year-old moved between the starting lineup and a bench role over the first half of the 2023-24 season, averaging 12.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 25.7 minutes per game over 52 appearances with Indiana. De'Anthony Melton (back) has been sidelined in recent weeks, and while it's unclear whether Hield will be able to secure a starting role in Philadelphia, he'll offer solid shooting abilities for a team seeking additional help after Joel Embiid's (knee) injury.

Not in starting lineup Hield is not in the Pacers' starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Kings, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
Impact Hield is not listed as inactive, so he will presumably be playing a reserve role. The sharp shooter has averaged 10.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists across 21 games as a reserve this season.

Struggles badly Thursday Hield logged three points (1-8 FG, 1-7 3Pt), two rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Thursday's 109-105 loss to New York.
Impact Hield has been struggling badly from deep in recent games, scoring in single digits in four of his last six appearances and making just 28 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc in that span. Hield is too good of a shooter to continue struggling at this level for a prolonged stretch, but he needs to deliver a bounce-back performance quickly. He's expected to remain in the starting lineup when the Pacers take on the Kings on Friday.

Impact Hield led all players in Sunday's game in threes made while leading the Pacers in scoring and adding a trio of rebounds and assists in a losing effort. Hield has connected on five or more threes in nine games this season, including in two straight outings. He has posted at least 15 points in two consecutive appearances and in four of his last six contests.

Drains three treys Monday Hield contributed 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and two rebounds over 23 minutes during Monday's 132-105 loss to Utah.
Impact Hield was efficient from the field and recorded multiple threes for the seventh time over his last eight appearances, regardless of whether he's starting or playing off the bench. Hield is averaging 11.0 points while shooting 35.7 percent from three since the start of January, but it's clear his fantasy appeal decreases if his shot is not falling.

Boosts offense in starting lineup Hield closed Sunday's 117-109 loss to the Nuggets with 16 points (6-13 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals across 28 minutes.
Impact Hield got his first start since Jan. 6 with Aaron Nesmith (shin) inactive, finishing second on the team in scoring while connecting on a pair of threes and recording a pair of steals in a losing effort. Hield has started in 18 games this season, scoring 15 or more points in 10 outings.
JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE
Enters starting lineup Hield will join the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Denver, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
Impact In what will be his first start since Jan. 6, Hield will be replacing Aaron Nesmith, who is out with bilateral shin soreness. With Hield getting a promotion to the top unit, Bennedict Mathurin should serve as the Pacers' go-to scoring option off the bench.

Provides spark off bench in win Hield finished with 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 25 minutes in Monday's 133-131 win over Boston.
Impact Hield transitioned back to the bench with Bruce Brown (knee) returning to the starting lineup, going on to connect on a pair of threes while finishing as one of four Pacers with 15 or more points in victory. Hield has recorded three or more threes in three straight contests while posting 15 points in two straight games.

Won't start Monday Hield won't start Monday's game against the Celtics, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact With Bruce Brown (knee) back in action, Hield will shift to the bench. Over his last six appearances as a reserve, Hield has averaged 9.5 points on 37.7 percent shooting.

Poor shooting from deep in loss Hield contributed 15 points (6-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists in 31 minutes during Saturday's 118-101 loss to Boston.
Impact Hield got the start Saturday with Bruce Brown (knee) sidelined, and while he posted decent scoring numbers, the fact that he made just three of his 10 shots from beyond the arc should be concerning. Hield lives and dies by his three-point shooting, and he will try to bounce back in a rematch against the Celtics on Monday.
JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Joins starting lineup Hield will move into the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Celtics.
Impact The Pacers are sitting Bruce Brown (knee) for the second leg of this back-to-back set, and Andrew Nembhard (back) will miss his third straight game. Hield is off to a slow start in the new year, posting averages of 7.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers over his last three games.
