NBA Player News

Siakam (rest) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against Memphis.

Siakam didn't play in Monday's 108-104 loss to the Hawks, the second of a back-to-back for Indiana. He will return to action Wednesday, meaning Jalen Slawson, who started against Atlanta, will presumably head back to the bench.

Nembhard (neck) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's meeting in Memphis.

Nembhard is set to return from a one-game absence, which should prompt Braden Smith's return to the second unit. Nembhard is averaging 18.5 points, 7.3 assists and 2.5 triples per game this season.

Nance (illness) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Nance is feeling well enough to suit up for the Pacers on Wednesday. His streaming appeal is contingent upon the status of Ivica Zubac, who has a chance to return from an ankle sprain Wednesday.

Toppin (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Toppin was available for emergency purposes Monday against the Hawks, so he figures to have a good chance of playing Wednesday. The Pacers should update his status closer to tipoff.

Poeltl is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to left shoulder bursitis, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Poeltl is looking to avoid a third straight absence with the issue. If the veteran big man is unable to give it a go Wednesday, Collin Murray-Boyles should take on the lion's share of the center minutes for the Raptors.

Post (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Indiana.

Post is in danger of missing his third consecutive contest because of a right ankle sprain. If Post remains sidelined Wednesday versus the Pacers, Kris Murray should continue to see more minutes.

Pippen (back) won't play Wednesday against the Pacers.

This will be Pippen's third straight game on the sidelines, which should continue resulting in more minutes for Cam Spencer. Pippen's next chance to play will come Friday against the Thunder.

Shannon (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game in Houston.

Shannon didn't play in Monday's 112-100 win over Milwaukee. The 26-year-old is having the best season of his career, averaging 12.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists over 22.0 minutes per contest, so being without him once again would be a tough blow for the Timberwolves. If Shannon misses his second consecutive game, Cody Williams, Trey Lyles and Jaylen Clark could each see more minutes.

Nurkic (foot) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

Nurkic has been a spectator to begin the season, and he's still not ready for game action due to a foot injury. The veteran big man should be considered week-to-week until the Jazz update his recovery, so Jaxson Hayes should remain the team's primary center going forward.

Bamba is questionable for Wednesday's game in New Orleans due to a sprained right ankle.

Bamba must have tweaked his ankle during Monday's 119-97 loss to the Spurs, and now he's in danger of sitting out Wednesday's game. If Bamba is forced to the sidelines, Kyle Filipowski would likely pick up most of his minutes.
