Spielerstatistiken und Vorschau: Indiana Pacers gegen New Orleans Pelicans (8. Feb. 2027)

Injury/Illness - Bilateral Patellar Tendinopathy (2026-11-16, GSW@NOP). Prior reporting (2026-11-15): Murphy (knees) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Golden State. Murphy is set to miss a fifth consecutive game while he works his way back from bilateral patellar tendinopathy. His next chance to suit up will come against the Pistons on Wednesday. Saddiq Bey will likely remain in the starting unit for as long as Murphy is sidelined.

Injury/Illness - Left Ankle Sprain (2026-11-16, GSW@NOP). Prior reporting (2026-11-13): Murray (ankle) is out for Friday's game against Memphis. This was the expectation after the star guard requested a trade from the Pelicans earlier Friday. Given his standing with the club, Murray can be tentatively considered doubtful for future contests while New Orleans tries to find him another home.

Injury/Illness - Left Elbow Infection (2026-11-16, GSW@NOP). Prior reporting (2026-11-15): McGowens (elbow) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors. McGowens will miss a third consecutive outing due to an infection in his left elbow. Jaron Pierre Jr. will continue earning extra minutes off the Pelicans' bench with McGowens and Bennedict Mathurin (foot) both sidelined.

Injury/Illness - Left Plantar Fasciitis (2026-11-16, GSW@NOP). Prior reporting (2026-11-15): Mathurin (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors. Mathurin will miss a second straight game and his third over the last four outings due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot. Jordan Poole and Jaron Pierre Jr. will continue to get extended run with Mathurin on the shelf.

G League - Two-Way (2026-11-16, GSW@NOP).

Injury/Illness - Right Ankle Sprain (2026-11-16, GSW@NOP). Prior reporting (2026-11-15): Watford (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Golden State. Watford will miss a fifth consecutive contest due to a right ankle sprain. He remains without a clear return timetable.

G League - Two-Way (2026-11-16, GSW@NOP).

Head coach Rick Carlisle said Wednesday that Haliburton (hamstring) will miss at least 10 more days, Alex Golden of SI.com reports. Haliburton is still recovering from a left hamstring strain and will need more time to ramp up. Andrew Nembhard should continue seeing increased on-ball duties in Haliburton's stead, while Quenton Jackson and Braden Smith are also candidates for increased burn.

Nembhard (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Tony East of Forbes.com reports. Nembhard will miss his third contest of the season due to left hip soreness. T.J. McConnell should slide into the first unit while Quenton Jackson gets a boost in minutes off the bench.

Furphy (knee) is practicing with the G League's Noblesville Boom, per Alex Golden of SI.com. The Pacers have been pretty quiet regarding Furphy's ACL recovery since the offseason, but it's encouraging to hear some form of progress as the forward begins to ramp up his activity. Although Furphy still lacks a firm timetable for a return and is likely to be brought back slowly, it appears a season debut before the start of the new calendar year is in the cards.

Head coach Rick Carlise confirmed Sheppard will miss "months" after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, Tony East of Forbes.com reports. Sheppard required a full repair and is without a definitive timetable for a return to action. With Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) expected to miss at least two weeks, Quenton Jackson figures to see a significant uptick in playing time. Two-way player Braden Smith could also see increased action with the parent club.
