Buddy Hield News, Rumors, Updates - Golden State Warriors

Moves to second unit Hield will move to the bench for Tuesday's game against Houston, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Impact It's unclear if this is a matchup move for Indiana, but coach Rick Carlisle has shuffled his lineup several times this season. Aaron Nesmith is moving into the first unit, but Hield figures to be a key part of the second unit. The timing is certainly strange, as Hield has been on fire with a total of 14 three-pointers in his last three appearances.

Leads form deep in 20-point game Hield logged 20 points (7-15 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Saturday's 117-110 loss to Orlando.

Impact Hield led all players in Saturday's contest in threes made while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound mark and finishing as one of three Pacers with 20 or more points. Hield has made five or more threes in two straight games, tallying at least 20 points in two of his last three outings.

Leads team in win Hield supplied 25 points (8-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 144-113 win over the Hornets.

Impact Hield's efficient shooting helped him record his second-most points in a game this year while also recording a season-high three blocks. Since being inserted into the starting lineup on Nov. 21, Hield is averaging 14.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 28.1 minutes across 14 appearances.

Effective in win Hield accumulated 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Monday's 131-123 victory over the Pistons.

Impact Hield notched his eighth game with 15-plus points, and his fifth such game since entering the starting lineup. Hield's efficiency has helped compensate for modest volume of late, as he's averaging 10.7 shots per game over his last seven contests. Overall, his shooting is paying dividends in the starting lineup, as Hield has the Pacers' fourth-best offensive net rating, earning a plus-6.3 differential through 21 total appearances.

Drills four from downtown in win Hield produced 21 points (7-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 122-112 win over the Celtics.

Impact Hield's role with the Pacers has solidified while youngsters like Bennedict Mathurin have continued to struggle with unremarkable results. The career sharpshooter is Indiana's best deep threat, and he'll continue to yield excellent results beyond the arc as long as he remains in the starting lineup.

Scores 18 points in win Hield registered 18 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and four rebounds over 28 minutes during Friday's 136-113 victory over the Pistons.

Impact Hield has been trusted into a starting role and has performed above the most optimistic expectations, scoring at least 18 points in each contest and shooting 66.7 percent from three-point range. While those numbers are not sustainable over a long-term scenario, Hield has done enough to remain in the starting unit for the foreseeable future.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Drops 31 points in loss Hield amassed 31 points (12-17 FG, 7-12 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 132-131 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Hield has had limited scoring output for most of the season, but he's joined the starting lineup in his last two appearances and has posted his two highest scoring totals of the year while shooting 72.2 percent from beyond the arc. Despite Hield's lackluster results earlier this year, he's been dominant as a starter, so it certainly seems possible that he retains that role.

Joins starting lineup Hield will join the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact This is a bit of a surprise, as Hield has been ice cold with a combined five points in his previous two games. Hield and Aaron Nesmith are replacing Bennedict Mathurin and Obi Toppin in the first unit, though it remains to be seen if this is a permanent switch.

NOVEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Limited production Sunday Hield finished Sunday's 128-116 loss to Orlando with three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 15 minutes.

Impact Hield scored in double figures in nine of his first 10 appearances of the season, but he's now been held to single-digit scoring totals in back-to-back matchups. His overall production is down from last year in most areas to begin the 2023-24 campaign, as he's averaging 11.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 22.8 minutes per game, and his recent performances have been discouraging.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Held in check Tuesday Hield totaled two points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 132-126 victory over Philadelphia.

Impact Hield scored in double figures in nine of his first 10 appearances of the year, but he had his worst scoring performance of the young season during Tuesday's narrow victory. He failed to hit a three-pointer for the first time this season and saw decreased numbers in multiple categories despite playing 29 minutes. Hield has had serviceable production for the Pacers this year, and Tuesday's performance seems to be an outlier.

NOVEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leading scorer off the bench Hield registered 16 points (6-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists over 21 minutes in Sunday's 137-126 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Hield has scored in double-digits in all but one game this season and has played at least 21 minutes in his last seven games. He's been the main scoring option off the bench for the Pacers -- particularly when Haliburton is off the floor. Hield has seen his three-point shooting drop to 37.3 percent entering tonight's game, but he'll continue to be a threat from beyond the arc.

NOVEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores easy 19 Hield posted 19 points (7-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Monday's 152-111 victory over the Spurs.

Impact Hield has now posted back-to-back 19 point games, but the energy is atypical compared to his previous seasons in Indiana. Coming off the bench and taking a supplemental role to the Pacers' youth development at times, Hield is averaging just 13.4 points per game after averaging 17.5 through the first seven contests of last season. He could be on the rise, however.

NOVEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in multiple areas Hield closed with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 155-104 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Hield scored in double figures in his first three appearances of the season but fell just short of the mark during Wednesday's blowout loss. However, he remained productive in rebounds and assists and is now averaging 10.5 points, 4.5 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 21.8 minutes per game this season.

NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leads bench in scoring Hield registered 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), five assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block in 25 minutes in Wednesday's 143-120 win over the Wizards.

Impact Hield came off the bench during the preseason with the Pacers electing to start Bennedict Mathurin at shooting guard. Hield played just one less minute than Mathurin in the season opener, shot more efficiently than the latter and tied with newcomer Bruce Brown for the best plus/minus on the team with plus-15. Hield could be a dark horse candidate for the Sixth Man of the Year award if he's able to shoot efficiently coming off the bench during the regular season.

Report: NBA executives don't anticipate Indiana Pacers' Buddy Hield will be traded before season Hield and the Pacers are at a halt with contract extension talks

OCTOBER 18, 2023 • SUNHERALD.COM

Continues to work off bench Hield finished Monday's preseason win over Atlanta with 11 points (3-10 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five assists and three rebounds in 21 minutes.

Impact Hield has primarily been a starter for most of his career, but it's worth noting that Indiana has brought him off the bench in each of its first three exhibition contests, while Bennedict Mathurin has started at shooting guard. With Opening Night just a week away, the situation will be something to monitor. If Hield does move to a reserve role, it could hurt his overall upside, but he'd likely still see more than enough minutes to remain a high-end producer of three-pointers for fantasy managers in roto leagues. Last month, it was reported that Hield is on the trade block after failing to reach a contract extension agreement with the Pacers, so a mid-season move is possible, if not likely.
