Impact Despite landing on the injury report with a left ankle injury, Duarte will be available for the Pacers on Tuesday. Across his last four matchups, the Oregon product has averaged 7.0 points and 2.3 assists.

Active Tuesday Duarte (ankle) is active Tuesday against Atlanta, Tony East of SI.com reports.
Lands on injury report Tuesday Duarte is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Atlanta due to left ankle soreness.
Impact Duarte was a late addition to the injury report Tuesday morning, which is always a concerning development. The extent of the issue remains unclear, but if he doesn't suit up, Bennedict Mathurin and T.J. McConnell would be candidates for increased roles off the bench.

Sinks four threes off bench Duarte logged 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 117-112 win over the Celtics.
Impact In just his second game back from a lengthy absence due to an ankle injury, Duarte found his three-point stroke in a big way. The Pacers appear to be easing him back into action, but with rookie Andrew Nembhard struggling to make an impact as the starting shooting guard, it may not be long before Duarte is back in the starting five.

Indiana Pacers wing Chris Duarte looks comfortable in return vs New York Knicks Duarte missed six weeks of action for the Pacers with an ankle injury
DECEMBER 20, 2022 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Middling numbers in return Duarte (ankle) finished with six points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-5 FT) and two rebounds across 15 minutes in Sunday's 109-106 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Though he was on a playing-time restriction Sunday while he made his first appearance for Indiana in more than a month and a half due to a left ankle sprain, Duarte may not see his minutes pick up dramatically while Indiana has all of its key rotation players available. Prior to getting hurt, Duarte averaged 19.7 minutes per game over his first nine appearances of the 2022-23 campaign. A 2021-22 NBA All-Rookie Second Team selection a year ago, Duarte has been hurt by the arrivals of Bennedict Mathurin and Andrew Nembhard via the draft and Aaron Nesmith via trade over this past summer.

Returning on minutes restriction Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said Duarte (ankle) will play in Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Impact Though he'll be cleared for his first NBA action since Nov. 4, Duarte may have a smaller minutes load than usual, according to Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis. Prior to suffering his left ankle sprain, Duarte had averaged 8.9 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.0 assists in 19.7 minutes per contest over nine appearances. Duarte most recently made two appearances with the G League's Fort Wayne Mad Ants to get ramped up, so he won't be coming into Sunday's contest completely cold.

Chris Duarte upgraded to questionable for Indiana Pacers after G League rehab assignment Duarte hasn’t played for the Pacers since November 4
DECEMBER 18, 2022 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Questionable Sunday Duarte (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Knicks.
Impact Duarte will have an opportunity to return to the NBA court after suffering a left ankle sprain Nov. 4. He has spent the tail end of his rehab with the Pacers G League affiliate and logged 34 minutes in his most recent game with the team. Although his hefty G League workload bodes well for his future debut, he will still likely be closely monitored when he does return. His return would likely take minutes away from Andrew Nembhard, Budy Hield and Aaron Nesmith.
DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Efficient outing in G League debut Duarte (ankle) posted 18 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three assists, two rebounds and two steals in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 win over the Herd.
Impact Duarte was sent to the G League to get in some game action with the Mad Ants while rehabbing from a left ankle sprain that's sidelined him since early November. The second-year guard played well across limited action and figures to see a similar workload during Friday's rematch against the Herd.

Impact Duarte, who has been sidelined since early November with a left ankle sprain, will get some run in with the G League club after he checked out fine following a workout Saturday with the NBA team. Assuming the second-year wing remains free of setbacks during his two-game stint in the G League, he should rejoin the Pacers ahead of Sunday's game against the Knicks. Expect Duarte to handle a limited role off the bench if he's available for that contest.

Impact Carlisle wasn't definitively willing to rule Duarte out from returning before the road trip ends Dec. 7 in Minnesota, but the second-year wing still sounds like he has a few hurdles to clear in his recovery from the left ankle sprain before gaining full clearance. The injury Duarte suffered Nov. 4 will likely end up sidelining him for more than a month, paving the way for Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith to pick up more minutes on the wing.

Impact Back on Nov. 18, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reported that Duarte was gearing up for a return to the court at some point during the Pacers' seven-game road trip that begins Sunday. While Duarte ultimately won't get cleared to play Sunday, he could still join the Pacers at some point during the trip if he continues to make steady progress in his recovery from the left ankle sprain. Duarte has been sidelined since Nov. 4 with the injury.
