Estadísticas de jugadores y previa: Phoenix Suns contra Indiana Pacers (23 dic 2026)

Injury/Illness - Left Hamstring Strain (2026-11-13, NYK@IND). Prior reporting (2026-11-11): 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.

Injury/Illness - Right Knee Soreness (2026-11-13, NYK@IND). Prior reporting (2026-11-12): Nesmith (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks. Nesmith picked up a knee injury during Wednesday's game against Washington, and he was ultimately unable to return after being diagnosed with knee soreness. He'll likely test his knee during shootaround and pregame to determine if he can take the court Friday.

Injury/Illness - Right ACL Repair / Surgery (2026-11-13, NYK@IND). Prior reporting (2026-10-30): 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.

Injury/Illness - Right Hamstring Strain (2026-11-13, NYK@IND). Prior reporting (2026-11-12): McConnell is probable for Friday's game against the Knicks due to a right hamstring strain. McConnell continues to land on the injury report with a hamstring issue, but it's a positive sign that he's been listed as probable after being handed a questionable tag ahead of Indiana's previous three games. He's in line to play in a fourth consecutive game after logging a season high in minutes (14) Wednesday night against Washington.

Injury/Illness - Left Meniscus Surgery (2026-11-13, NYK@IND). Prior reporting (2026-10-28): 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.

Williams underwent surgery Thursday to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder and will miss an extended period of time, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. This is a tough blow for the center with training camp right around the corner. With his status for Opening Night in jeopardy, this will put a lot of eyes on Oso Ighodaro and Khaman Maluach, with the latter already drawing buzz during the Summer League. More clarity on Williams' timeline should be known in the coming weeks.
