Pacers vs. Mavericks injury report Feb. 22: Cooper Flagg, Pascal Siakam, and more The Indiana Pacers and Dallas Mavericks will go head-to-head for the second and final time this season on Sunday.

Aaron Nesmith - Not playing Sunday Nesmith (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Nesmith will miss a second consecutive game while tending to a right ankle sprain, and his next chance to play is Tuesday against the 76ers. Ben Sheppard and Kobe Brown should operate in elevated roles in Nesmith's absence.

Andrew Nembhard - Could play Sunday Nembhard (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Nembhard was held out of the second leg of the Pacers' back-to-back set Friday against the Wizards while managing a lower-back injury, but the fourth-year pro has the chance to return for Sunday's contest against Dallas. He has averaged 13.6 points, 6.4 assists, 2.2 rebounds, 2.0 threes and 0.8 steals over 30.6 minutes per game over his last five outings.

8 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Micah Potter - Iffy to play Sunday Potter (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Potter has been working through an ankle injury since before the All-Star break but has played in each of the Pacers' last six games (one start), during which he averaged 12.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.2 threes over 25.2 minutes per game. He's recently taken on an expanded role due to the absence of Pascal Siakam (hamstring), so Kobe Brown and Quenton Jackson would be in line for more minutes if Potter is unable to play Sunday.

8 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

T.J. McConnell - Still nursing hamstring injury McConnell (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact McConnell was cleared to return Friday from a two-game absence due to a right hamstring injury, and he ended up making his first start of the season in a 131-118 loss to the Wizards, when he logged nine points, two assists, two rebounds and one steal over 15 minutes. Kam Jones (back) and Andrew Nembhard (toe) are both listed as questionable as well, so Quenton Jackson, Ben Sheppard and Taelon Peter would be slated for larger roles depending on the Pacers' backcourt availability for Sunday's contest.

8 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Pascal Siakam - Chance to return Sunday Siakam (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Siakam has missed three of the Pacers' last two games, the first of which was due to a left hamstring injury and the latter two due to a personal matter. He's still working through his hamstring issue, and Jarace Walker would likely stay in Indiana's starting lineup if Siakam is unable to play against Dallas on Sunday.

8 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Kam Jones - Dealing with lower-back issue Jones is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks due to lower-back soreness.

Impact The rookie second-rounder may have tweaked his back during the Pacers' 131-118 loss to the Wizards on Friday, when he logged four points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 11 assists, five rebounds and two steals over 39 minutes. Jones has started in two of the Pacers' last three games, and if Andrew Nembhard (toe) is unable to play, then T.J. McConnell (hamstring) and Quenton Jackson would be in line for bigger roles.

8 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

T.J. McConnell - Limited minutes in starting role McConnell (hamstring) registered nine points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 15 minutes Friday in the Wizards' 131-118 loss to the Pacers.

Impact With Andrew Nembhard (back) sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back set, McConnell -- who missed his second straight game due to a hamstring injury in Thursday's 112-105 loss to Washington -- picked up his first start of the season after being cleared to play. McConnell didn't end up taking on a typical starter's workload, as head coach Rick Carlisle held him out for the final 19 minutes of the contest while the 15-42 Pacers seemingly prioritized their positioning in the draft lottery over winning the game. Expect McConnell to move back into a backup role Sunday against the Mavericks if Nembhard is cleared to play.

Dallas aims to break its 10-game losing streak with a victory against Indiana

Ben Sheppard - Passive performance Friday Sheppard finished with eight points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Friday's 131-118 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Sheppard continues to be largely underwhelming, despite the fact that his role appears relatively secure, something that can't be said for many of his teammates. In 13 games over the past month, he has averaged 7.5 points and .5 three-pointers in 18.0 minutes per contest. Although there is a chance he suits up on most nights moving forward, his overall ceiling is too low to warrant significant fantasy attention.

Taelon Peter - Career-high four steals Peter notched 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and four steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 131-118 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Peter scored double digits for the third straight game, while also recording a career-high four steals. As Indiana continues to shuffle its rotation on a nightly basis, it appears as though Peter is currently in favor. However, keeping in mind that he is on a two-way contract, fantasy managers need to be prepared for random absences moving forward.

Quenton Jackson - Pops for 21 points in loss Jackson racked up 21 points (8-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 23 minutes during Friday's 131-118 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Jackson tallied at least 19 points for the third time in his past four appearances, continuing to provide Indiana with an offensive spark off the bench. While his recent production has been encouraging, being on a two-way contract, Jackson only has a limited number of games remaining. At best, he should be viewed as a possible streaming candidate, if and when his role is moderately significant.

Kam Jones - Starting Friday Jones will start Friday versus the Wizards, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Impact This will be Jones' third start of the season and he'll be joined in the first unit by TJ McConnell, Ben Sheppard, Jarace Walker and Jay Huff. As a starter this season, Jones has posted averages of 11.5 points, 7.0 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.5 triples per contest.

T.J. McConnell - Starting Friday vs. Washington McConnell is in the Pacers' starting lineup against the Wizards on Friday, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Impact McConnell was cleared to play Friday after missing the Pacers' last two games due to a right hamstring injury, and he'll make his first start of the season due to the absence of Andrew Nembhard (back). McConnell's last start took place April 11 against the Magic, when he registered 12 points, three assists, one rebound, one steal and one block over 21 minutes.
