Ruled out Duarte (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Duarte left Monday's loss to the Pistons due to left ankle soreness and will be sidelined for at least one additional contest. The second-year wing had started the previous two contests, but his missing minutes would likely be absorbed by Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) and T.J. McConnell (back), who are both listed as questionable but trending in the right direction after practicing Wednesday, if they're cleared for action.

MARCH 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Monday Duarte has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Pistons due to left ankle soreness.

Impact Duarte's night will come to an end after putting up 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and adding one rebound in 24 minutes of play. George Hill and Aaron Nesmith could pick up a few additional minutes down the stretch in Duarte's absence.

Moves into first unit Duarte will move into the starting lineup Saturday against Detroit.

Drains five threes Sunday Duarte ended with 15 points (5-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal over 22 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 125-122 win over the Bulls.

Impact The second-year guard tied his season high in made threes, matching the five he drained against the Nets back on Halloween. Duarte's court time has been erratic off the bench lately, but he's scored at least 14 points in three of the last six games, seeing at least 20 minutes and firing up multiple threes in all three contests.

MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Adds 18 bench points Duarte supplied 18 points (8-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt), nine rebounds and two assists in 34 minutes during Thursday's 110-99 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Duarte turned in an efficient shooting night from the field, hitting 57.1 percent of his tries. He led the Indiana bench in scoring with 18 points and narrowly missed a double-double with his effort on the glass. It's also worth mentioning that Duarte logged 30-plus minutes for the first time since Jan. 27, and while Tyrese Haliburton's (calf) absence likely contributed to the increased workload, it appears Duarte may have a chance to work his way back into the rotation going forward, especially if he continues to perform at a similar level.

Moves back into rotation Duarte scored 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt) and added two rebounds and two steals over 20 minutes in Wednesday's 117-113 win over the Bulls.

Impact Duarte has been an inconsistent member of the Pacers' rotation in February, but he took back a spot on the second unit Wednesday from the newly acquired George Hill, who didn't play in a coach's decision. Considering Hill's status as a veteran on an expiring deal, Duarte looks like the better bet of the two to maintain a rotation spot moving forward, especially if the 26-34 Pacers fade from the Eastern Conference playoff picture following the All-Star break.

Available Wednesday Duarte (ankle) is available for Wednesday's tilt against the Heat, Tony East of SI.com reports.

Impact Though Duarte is available, it remains to be seen if he's still a part of the rotation. Before missing Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to an ankle injury, he was a DNP-CD against the Kings, and before that, he saw just six minutes. He's continued to struggle shooting and is making just 29.0 percent of his threes since the calendar flipped to 2023.
