Impresses off bench McConnell registered 10 points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight assists, three rebounds and two steals in 17 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 127-121 win over the 76ers.

Impact McConnell didn't log many minutes, but he needed limited time to make a positive impact on the offensive side of the ball -- he registered the team's second-highest assist total, only behind Aaron Holiday. McConnell might not deliver 10-point or eight-assist performances often, but he provides decent value as a solid bench player for the Pacers.

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.

Scores 12 in 17 minutes Sumner posted 12 points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 17 minutes during Sunday's 118-111 scrimmage win over the Mavericks.

Impact Sumner saw four more minutes than veteran backup point guard T.J. McConnell in this one. Moreover, Sumner did an excellent job attacking and earned six trips to the charity stripe, knocking down each attempt. It may be unlikely that Sumner continues to receive more minutes than McConnell going forward, but Sumner is at least capable of filling in at both guard spots thanks to his size and defensive ability.

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).
