Not close to return Pacers head coach Nate McMillan said Sunday that Sabonis (foot) is "a ways away" from returning to game action, Scott Agness of VigilantSports.com reports.

Impact Sabonis still hasn't returned to the NBA bubble in Orlando after leaving more than a week ago to seek treatment for the plantar fasciitis he has been experiencing in his left foot, and the team has yet to offer a formal update on his condition. At this stage, Sabonis looks to be more week-to-week than day-to-day in his recovery from the injury, and it's entirely possible he won't be ready to make his debut in Orlando until the postseason, if at all.

Starting in opener Holiday will start in Saturday's restart opener against the 76ers, Scott Agness of VigilantSports.com reports.

Impact With both Malcolm Brogdon (neck) and Domantas Sabonis (foot) unavailable, Holiday is being inserted into the starting five. He's started two previous games this season, and in the nine efforts that he's seen 30-plus minutes, he's averaged 14.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.3 assists.

Playing in restart Oladipo (knee) has decided to play in the restarted NBA season, beginning with Saturday's contest against the 76ers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. He will initially be on...

Impact This is huge news for the Pacers, who are hanging in limbo with regards to Domantas Sabonis' (foot) status. Oladipo played in the Pacers' scrimmages earlier in July, so signs were pointing toward him participating in the restart considering he looked healthy. In Oladipo's final five appearances before the hiatus, he averaged 18.6 points on 13.6 shots, 4.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.4 steals in 27.4 minutes.

Out Saturday vs. Sixers Sabonis (foot) will not play Saturday against the 76ers.

Impact Sabonis left the bubble to seek treatment for plantar fasciitis, and he is yet to return. It's unclear when or if he'll rejoin the team in the bubble. In his stead, Myles Turner should see extra offensive responsibilities, while more minutes could go to the likes of Doug McDermott and JaKarr Sampson.

Scores 13 in final scrimmage McDermott went for 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 118-111 scrimmage loss to the Spurs.

Impact McDermott got hot from beyond the arc and had an efficient scoring night. If Victor Oladipo (knee) opts to sit out the official games and Domantas Sabonis (foot) is ruled out for a significant amount of time, that could result in a bit more playing time for McDermott. However, he generally contributes very little outside of the three-point shooting department.

Posts double-double in 15 minutes McConnell finished with 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 assists, four rebounds and one steal in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 118-111 scrimmage loss to the Spurs.

Impact McConnell paced the team in dimes and delivered a superb stat line in limited minutes. With the statuses of Victor Oladipo (knee) and Domantas Sabonis (foot) up in the air and Jeremy Lamb (knee) out for the rest of the season, McConnell might be more heavily involved going forward if the aforementioned duo doesn't suit up.

Dishes six dimes McConnell had six points (3-4 FG), six assists, three rebounds and one block in 13 minutes during Sunday's 118-111 scrimmage win over the Mavericks.

Impact McConnell didn't see that many minutes, with fellow backup guard Edmond Sumner earning four more minutes than the veteran. Nevertheless, McConnell is likely to remain the team's primary backup at point guard given that Aaron Holiday, Malcolm Brogdon and Victor Oladipo are all among the starting five in the aftermath of the potentially season-ending injury to Domantas Sabonis (foot).

Scores 20, snags six boards Warren went for 20 points (8-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Sunday's 118-111 scrimmage win over the Mavericks.

Impact Warren paced the team in scoring while matching Victor Oladipo and Malcolm Brogdon for the team high in minutes. With Domantas Sabonis (foot) in danger of missing the remainder of the season, Warren will almost certainly be among those asked to pick up the slack offensively.

Scores 15 to go with full line Turner (calf) tallied 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 24 minutes during Sunday's 118-111 scrimmage win over the Mavericks.

Impact Turner sat out Thursday's scrimmage against the Trail Blazers due to calf soreness but rejoined the rotation for this one. With fellow big man Domantas Sabonis (foot) potentially sidelined for the remainder of the season, Turner is likely in line to see as many minutes as he can handle going forward.

Scores 15, calf feels fine Turner (calf) tallied 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 24 minutes during Sunday's 118-111 scrimmage win over the Mavericks.

Impact Turner sat out Thursday's scrimmage against the Trail Blazers due to calf soreness but rejoined the rotation for this one. With fellow big man Domantas Sabonis (foot) potentially sidelined for the remainder of the season, Turner is likely in line to see as many minutes as he can handle going forward. Turner said after the game that the calf injury that hampered him last week was not an issue. "My calf really wasn't bothering me today," Turner said. "That was really the telltale sign."

Scores 16, sinks four treys Oladipo totaled 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 28 minutes during Sunday's 118-111 scrimmage win over the Mavericks.

Impact Oladipo turned in a solid performance, particularly in terms of his three-point shooting. He did not earn a single trip to the charity stripe, which indicates that he may not feel totally comfortable attacking the basket with full force just yet. Nevertheless, with Domantas Sabonis (foot) set to potentially miss the remainder of the campaign, Oladipo may feel compelled to take on a more active role offensively sooner rather than later.
