Goga Bitadze - Out for remainder of game Bitadze won't return to Friday's game against Oklahoma City due to right foot soreness, James Boyd of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Bitadze played a minimal role in Friday's matchup, as he was held scoreless with a rebound and a block in two minutes. He'll be unavailable for the final few minutes of the game, but his status for Saturday's game against the Mavericks isn't yet clear.

Domantas Sabonis - 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.

Domantas Sabonis - 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.

Domantas Sabonis - 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.

Justin Holiday - Fails to join the fun Holiday closed Wednesday's 158-126 loss to the Hornets with 10 points (3-7 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three assists and one steal over 23 minutes.
Impact Not only did Holiday supply a bland, impactless stat line, but he was also part of a mauling at the hands of Charlotte's offense. He was one of eight Pacers to hit double-digit scoring, but none logged typical minutes amid the blowout. Holiday is the Pacers' top three-point shooter, but even then he's shooting a pedestrian 37.1 percent from beyond the arc this season.

Isaiah Jackson - Scores 17 in offensive monstrosity Jackson chipped in 17 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 158-126 loss to Charlotte. He also...
Impact Jackson co-led the Pacers in points, which featured a perfect 6-for-6 free throws. The 20-year-old Kentucky product is shooting just 61.9 percent from the line this season, but an improved 66.7 percent across seven January contests. He's been an underwhelming source of rebounds thus far, but Jackson is flashing potential across the box score. He's ultimately in line for a larger role moving forward.
JANUARY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Lance Stephenson - Exudes chaos Stephenson notched 14 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds and 10 assists across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 158-126 loss to the Hornets.
Impact Stephenson has now combined for 38 points over his previous three games after compiling just 17 points across 69 minutes in a four-game span prior. Stephenson has been a good story, not to mention boom-able fantasy contributor, at times this season. The Pacers are in a free fall. With a looming youth movement on the horizon, Stephenson's rest-of-season upside could vary wildly depending on Indiana's trade deadline moves.
