Estadísticas de jugadores y previa: Indiana Pacers contra Chicago Bulls (4 ene 2027)

Injury/Illness - Left Finger Sprain (2026-11-14, CHI@MIN). Prior reporting (2026-11-14): Smith (finger) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game at Minnesota. Smith is in jeopardy of missing Saturday's contest after aggravating his sprained left finger in Friday's overtime win over Atlanta. With Nic Claxton (hamstring) also questionable, the Bulls could be shorthanded in the frontcourt. If either of those guys is ruled out, Zach Collins would likely see increased burn.

Injury/Illness - Low Back Injury Management (2026-11-14, CHI@MIN). Prior reporting (2026-11-14): Powell (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Minnesota. After erupting for 33 points in 31 minutes during Friday's overtime win over the Hawks, Powell is in danger of missing the second leg of this back-to-back set due to lower-back injury management. If the veteran guard is ruled out, Buddy Hield and Tre Jones could see increased burn.

Injury/Illness - Right Metacarpal Fracture (2026-11-14, CHI@MIN). Prior reporting (2026-11-12): Wilson (hand) is expected to miss four to six weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. The rookie forward went down during Wednesday's loss to the Spurs, and he now needs surgery to repair a fractured right hand. More pressure will likely fall on Josh Giddey going forward, while the likes of Tre Jones and Isaac Okoro will have a chance for added streaming value.

Injury/Illness - Left Hamstring Injury Management (2026-11-14, CHI@MIN). Prior reporting (2026-11-14): Claxton (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves. Claxton has averaged 7.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 blocks in 18.7 minutes across three games since making his season debut Sunday, but the Bulls may hold him out of Saturday's contest as he continues to manage the hamstring injury that forced him to miss Chicago's first eight games. Zach Collins could work in an expanded role if Claxton doesn't play.

Injury/Illness - Disc Irritation (2026-11-14, CHI@MIN). Prior reporting (2026-11-14): Awaka has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves. Now set to miss a third straight game due to a back injury, Awaka will aim to return during Chicago's next game against Cleveland on Monday.

G League - Two-Way (2026-11-14, CHI@MIN).

G League - On Assignment (2026-11-14, CHI@MIN).

Injury/Illness - Left Hamstring Strain (2026-11-15, IND@PHI). 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 - Left Hand Sprain (2026-11-15, IND@PHI). Prior reporting (2026-11-14): Nesmith (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia. Nesmith suffered a left hand sprain in the final seconds of Friday's win over the Knicks and could be held out of Sunday's road game. If the veteran swingman is unable to suit up, Jarace Walker, Quenton Jackson and Jalen Slawson would be candidates to see an uptick in minutes.

Injury/Illness - Right ACL Repair / Surgery (2026-11-15, IND@PHI). 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 (2026-11-15, IND@PHI). Prior reporting (2026-11-14): McConnell (hamstring) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the 76ers. McConnell missed the Pacers' first nine games of the season due to hamstring problems, and although he still seems to be working through the injury, he's been able to play in each of Indiana's last four contests. The fact that he's been listed as probable is a positive sign that he'll suit up for a fifth straight game Sunday.

Injury/Illness - Left Meniscus Tear (2026-11-15, IND@PHI). 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.
