Sacramento Kings vs Indiana Pacers: preview and player stats (Feb 13, 2027)

Injury/Illness - Left Ankle Soreness (2026-11-13, POR@SAC). Prior reporting (2026-11-13): Achiuwa (ankle) is questionable to play Friday's game against the Trail Blazers. Achiuwa is dealing with left ankle soreness after exiting Tuesday's 107-100 loss to Orlando during the third quarter. He was unable to return to the contest, and his questionable designation suggests there's a decent chance he'll be forced to sit out against Portland. If Achiuwa is sidelined, Dylan Cardwell and Keegan Murray should earn the vacated minutes, with Murray the likeliest to join the starting unit.

Injury/Illness - Right Achilles Tendon Repair / Surgery (2026-11-13, POR@SAC). Prior reporting (2026-10-21): Simmons underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair a torn right Achilles tendon, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports. Simmons had a quality preseason, averaging 10.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists over 17.4 minutes per contest (two games). The 30-year-old was on track to suit up for the Kings on opening night, though those plans were halted after he suffered a torn Achilles tendon during practice. Now, Simmons will focus on rehab. However, it's unknown what the future holds regarding his career in the NBA. Previously reported out for season.

G League - Two-Way (2026-11-13, POR@SAC).

Injury/Illness - Right Patella Subluxation (2026-11-13, POR@SAC). Prior reporting (2026-11-10): Raynaud (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Orlando. Raynaud is expected to be re-evaluated soon, though he can be considered week-to-week until the Kings offer an update on his status. Dylan Cardwell and Precious Achiuwa will likely continue seeing increased burn in Raynaud's absence.

G League - On Assignment (2026-11-13, POR@SAC).

G League - Two-Way (2026-11-13, POR@SAC).

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.
