Chris Duarte - Won't return Sunday Duarte (toe) won't return to Sunday's contest against the Timberwolves, James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Duarte left Sunday's contest in the first quarter after appearing to tweak his ankle, but the Pacers have since diagnosed him with a sore left big toe. The rookie ends the contest with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in four minutes. Lance Stephenson is expected to see an increased role for the remainder of the contest.

Chris Duarte - Uncertain to return Sunday Duarte has been diagnosed with a sore left big toe and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Duarte initially appeared to tweak his ankle in the first quarter, but the Pacers updated the nature of his injury shortly thereafter. Prior to exiting, the rookie had supplied two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in four minutes. Expect the team to provide an update on Duarte's status shortly after the halftime intermission.

Chris Duarte - Heads to locker room Sunday Duarte went to the locker room after suffering an ankle injury during Sunday's contest against the Timberwolves, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
Impact The rookie appeared to tweak his ankle after tripping over a Timberwolves player in the first quarter. He tried to come back into the game, but he was in too much pain and had to head to the locker room. Lance Stephenson is expected to see an increased role if Duarte is unable to return.
FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Reggie Perry - Ineligible for Sunday's game Perry (not injured related) is ineligible to play in Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Impact Perry was signed Feb. 4 on a 10-day hardship exemption while Domantas Sabonis was in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. With Sabonis having since cleared the protocols before being dealt to the Kings on Tuesday, Perry won't be eligible to play unless the Pacers place another player in the protocols. Perry's 10-day deal is set to expire after Sunday's game, but he's uncertain to be re-signed by Indiana.

Malcolm Brogdon - Won't play Sunday Brogdon (Achilles) is unavailable for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Impact Coach Rick Carlisle said earlier Sunday he didn't expect Brogdon to play Sunday, so it's not a major surprise to see the point guard ruled out. Tyrese Haliburton and Chris Duarte should continue to lead the backcourt for Indiana in Brogdon's absence.
FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Malcolm Brogdon - Unlikely to return Sunday Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said he doubts Brogdon (Achilles) will be able to play in Sunday's contest against the Timberwolves, James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Brogdon has made just three appearances since Dec. 15 due to a sore right Achilles, but the Pacers continue to evaluate his status on a game-by-game basis. Indiana has three games remaining before the All-Star break, but it's unclear if Brogdon will be able to return for any of those contests.
FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Terry Taylor - Not on injury report Taylor (illness) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game against Minnesota.
Impact Taylor was unavailable Friday against Cleveland due to a non-COVID illness but should be back in action Sunday. Jalen Smith played 21 minutes during his team debut, and it's not yet clear how the two players will split time going forward.
FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Isaiah Jackson - Ruled out Sunday Jackson (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Impact Jackson exited Friday's game against the Cavaliers due to right ankle soreness and will be forced to miss at least one additional matchup. Jalen Smith and Oshae Brissett should see increased roles against Minnesota.
FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Malcolm Brogdon - Questionable Sunday Brogdon (Achilles) is questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota.
Impact Brogdon has been sidelined for nearly a month due to right Achilles soreness. Even if he's available Sunday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him on a minutes restriction.

Jalen Smith - Scores 12 in team debut Smith totaled 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one block and one steal over 21 minutes during Friday's 120-113 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact Smith was traded from the Suns to the Pacers on Thursday and came off the bench for his new team a day after the transaction. The 21-year-old made an impact right away, as he shot 71.4 percent from the floor to score in double figures for the first time since Jan. 28. Although his uptick in playing time was encouraging, it's not yet clear what role he'll have once Terry Taylor (illness) and Isaiah Jackson (ankle) are at full strength.
FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Oshae Brissett - Posts double-double Friday Brissett contributed 18 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 38 minutes during Friday's 120-113 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact Brissett joined the starting lineup for the second time this season after Domantas Sabonis and Torrey Craig were traded away prior to the deadline, and he had a major impact during Friday's matchup. The 23-year-old led the team in rebounds en route to his first double-double of the season, and he should have the opportunity to maintain his starting role now that he has less competition for playing time.
FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Buddy Hield - Nears triple-double in debut Hield had 16 points (6-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds and eight assists over 40 minutes during Friday's 120-113 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact Hield had started just six games for Sacramento to begin the season, but he joined the starting lineup during his debut with the Cavaliers and matched his second-highest minutes total of the season. The 29-year-old came within a rebound of a double-double and flirted with a triple-double with a team-high eight assists. While Hield had a slightly inconsistent role with the Kings, it appears as though he'll have more opportunities to contribute in Cleveland.
FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tyrese Haliburton - Leading scorer in team debut Haliburton finished with 23 points (9-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, six assists and three steals in 40 minutes during Friday's 120-113 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact Haliburton joined the starting lineup during his first appearance with his new team, and he saw plenty of playing time during the narrow loss. The 21-year-old committed six turnovers but played a prominent role otherwise, as he led the team in scoring while shooting 60 percent from the floor. Despite the fact that he had only a few days to work with the team after being traded from the Kings to the Pacers on Tuesday, Haliburton had a prominent role right off the bat.
