Questionable vs. Wizards Bitadze (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Washington.
Impact The rookie was held out of Saturday's re-opening win over the Sixers, and the Pacers will wait to see how the knee feels at shootaround Monday before making a final call on his status. If Bitadze can't go against the Wizards, T.J. Leaf will likely serve as the backup to starting center Myles Turner.

Expected to miss multiple weeks Bitadze (knee) is expected to remain out for "a couple of weeks," per Pacers coach Nate McMillan, J. Michael of the Indy Star reports.
Impact A sore knee sidelined the rookie for the Pacers' most recent scrimmage, and he's now on course to miss most, if not all, of the team's seeding games, which begin Saturday against Philadelphia. Bitadze was not a major factor in the rotation for much of the regular season, but he likely would've been in line for increased minutes in the expected absence of Domantas Sabonis (foot), who's currently away from the team while seeking treatment.

Not scrimmaging Thursday Bitadze (knee) will not scrimmage Thursday against the Trail Blazers, Scott Agness of The Athletic reports.
Impact A sore knee has prevented the rookie from participating in any practices thus far, and he'll miss Indiana's first scrimmage as well. The Pacers' next scrimmage is Sunday against the Mavericks, but if Bitadze wants to play, he'll have to practice before then.

Still unable to practice Bitadze (knee) did not practice Wednesday, J. Michael of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact The rookie has been dealing with a sore knee and has yet to practice in Orlando. As a result, his status for the Pacers' first seeding game Aug. 1 against the 76ers is unclear.

Doesn't practice Tuesday Bitadze (undisclosed) did not practice Tuesday, J. Michael of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Bitadze is dealing with a soft-tissue injury, but it's not clear what the exact issue is. Regardless, he was held out of a second consecutive practice Tuesday. Until further notice, it seems like his participation in the Pacers' first seeding game, Aug. 1 against the 76ers, might be in jeopardy.
