Questionable Saturday Sabonis (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Sabonis continues to deal with a left ankle sprain, but he played 44 minutes in Friday's overtime win over the Thunder in spite of the injury. If the 25-year-old sits out Saturday, Isaiah Jackson and Oshae Brissett should see plenty of work since Goga Bitadze (foot) is unavailable.

Big minutes, triple-double in return Sabonis (ankle) tallied 24 points (9-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 18 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and two blocks in 44 minutes Friday in the Pacers' 113-110 overtime win over the T...

Impact While Sabonis' fifth triple-double of the season along with the defensive production are certainly nice, the Pacers' willingness to play him massive minutes coming off a four-game absence suggests the organization is confident he's moved past the sprained left ankle. Optimism about Sabonis' health would be backed up by him playing in the second half of the back-to-back set Saturday in Dallas, but even if he sits out, it would likely be more for rest purposes than a result of any setback.

Officially available Friday Sabonis (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Coach Rick Carlisle said prior to Friday's matchup that he expected Sabonis would be able to play, and he'll officially return from a four-game absence. He's in the starting lineup, but it's not yet clear whether he'll have a minutes restriction.

Likely returning Friday Sabonis (ankle) is expected to play Friday against the Thunder, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.

Impact Sabonis' return isn't official yet, but coach Rick Carlisle said he thinks the big man is playing. Sabonis has missed the past four games due to a sprained left ankle. With his return, less usage will be available for Goga Bitadze, Isaiah Jackson, Oshae Brissett and Torrey Craig.

Questionable Friday Sabonis (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Sabonis participated in Thursday's practice session and will have a chance to return to the court after missing the last four games with a sprained left ankle. If he remains out Friday, Goga Bitadze and Isaiah Jackson should see increased run once again.

Practices Thursday Sabonis (ankle) participated in Thursday's practice session, James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Sabonis has missed a week due to a left ankle sprain, but it was encouraging to see him back on the court for practice Thursday. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Friday's game against Oklahoma City, but he appears to be progressing toward a return in the near future.

Impact Sabonis, who was sidelined for just the second time all season Thursday after spraining his left ankle late in the Pacers' win over the Lakers a night prior, will almost certainly sit out the remaining two games of Indiana's road trip. Expect the big man to be re-evaluated when the Pacers return to Indiana on Tuesday, and he should be viewed as far from a lock to get cleared for Wednesday's home game versus the Hornets. Goga Bitadze started at center Thursday in place of Sabonis, recording 13 points, nine rebounds, five assists and one block in 31 minutes before being ejected in the second half.

Won't play Thursday Sabonis (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Golden State.

Impact It's not much of a surprise Sabonis won't be available for the second half of the back-to-back set, as the left ankle sprain he suffered during Wednesday's win over the Lakers was labeled potentially "significant" by coach Rick Carlisle. An official diagnosis for the injury has yet to be announced, but the 25-year-old will be sidelined for at least one game, though a longer absence seems likely. Goga Bitadze and Oshae Brissett should split time at center for Indiana, which is already without Myles Turner (foot) for the next couple weeks.

May have 'significant' ankle sprain Head coach Rick Carlisle said after Wednesday's 111-104 win over the Lakers that Sabonis played through a sprained left ankle in the final five minutes of the contest that is "prob...

Impact Sabonis came away with his fourth triple-double of the season (20 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists) while playing his normal minutes (35) and leading the Pacers to a win that Carlisle described as "desperately needed," but if the big man's injury was as severe as the coach intimated, it would go down as a Pyrrhic victory. The Pacers will presumably send Sabonis in for further examination Thursday, but even if the injury doesn't prove to be as worrisome as Carlisle implied, the two-time All-Star is still likely to sit out versus the Warriors in the second half of the back-to-back set as a precaution. Indiana would turn to a combination of Goga Bitadze, Isaiah Jackson and Oshae Brissett to fill minutes at center if Sabonis joins Myles Turner (foot) on the sideline.

Pacers Domantas Sabonis sustains what could be 'significant' ankle sprain against Lakers Sabonis remained in the game and drilled a dagger 3-pointer to give Indiana a 104-96 lead with 2:28 left in the fourth quarter.

Torches Lakers with triple-double Sabonis ended with 20 points (9-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt), 12 rebounds, 10 assists and one block in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 111-104 win over the Lakers.

Impact Sabonis flashed all of his skills in the comeback win, finishing with his fourth triple-double of the campaign. The big man has grabbed double-digit boards in three straight contests and has scored at least 14 points in each game during that span. Sabonis is averaging 22.4 points, 11.6 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 1.1 three-pointers through nine contests in 2022.
