Sat Jun 18 202218:23Lance Stephenson Wants To Return To Indiana
Indiana Pacers forward Lance Stephenson isn't ready to hang it up yet. The veteran forward returned this season following a two-year hiatus from NBA action. He returned and played six games for the Atlanta Hawks before joining the Pacers. Stephenson averaged 9.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists with Indiana. He put together some nice moments and showed he still has something left in the tank. It's likely that the Pacers consider giving Stephenson another contract. However, fantasy managers shouldn't expect much value from him.

Tue Mar 15 202218:40Chris Duarte, Lance Stephenson To Be Active Tuesday
Indiana Pacers guards Chris Duarte (toe) and Lance Stephenson (ankle) will both return to action in Tuesday night's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Duarte has been hampered by a sore left toe. The injury has forced him to miss four of the team's last six games. Meanwhile, Stephenson has missed four straight due to a left ankle sprain. Duarte should see at least 20 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's contest while Stephenson should fall a little short of that. Neither player is particularly attractive for fantasy purposes while the Pacers have a fully healthy backcourt. Malcolm Brogdon (head) is returning from a two game absence on Tuesday and he'll log heavy minutes as one of the team's starting guards alongside fellow guards Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield.

Sun Mar 13 202218:41Chris Duarte, Lance Stephenson Ruled Out On Sunday
Indiana Pacers guards Chris Duarte (toe) and Lance Stephenson (ankle) have both been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It'll be a significantly short-handed backcourt for Indiana on Sunday as Malcolm Brogdon (head) is out for the game as well. Expect to see starting guards Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield log heavy minutes while Duane Washington Jr. and Keifer Sykes each get a minutes bump off the bench as well. Washington is someone worth streaming and DFS consideration as he's shown the ability to score the rock when given the minutes. He dropped 19 points over just 21 minutes in the team's most recent game on Saturday.

Sun Mar 13 202215:05Chris Duarte, Lance Stephenson Questionable On Sunday
Indiana Pacers guard Chris Duarte (toe) and forward Lance Stephenson (ankle) are listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Stephenson is in danger of missing his fourth game in a row. Normally, Duarte would benefit from that, but his toe issue might keep him out of this contest. That being said, Duane Washington Jr. could end up being a sneaky fantasy option for Sunday. He could be looking at an extended role if both Stephenson and Duarte sit out. Fantasy managers should check back closer to game time for more information.

Sat Mar 12 202209:46Lance Stephenson Not Available On Saturday
Indiana Pacers forward Lance Stephenson (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. This marks three straight games that Stephenson has missed due to a left ankle sprain. It's a shame because the Pacers could've used Stephenson's help with Malcolm Brogdon (concussion) already ruled out. That being said, Chris Duarte and Duane Washington Jr. should see increased roles with Stephenson on the sideline. Both carry similar fantasy value with Washington being the slightly better option.

Thu Mar 10 202214:46Lance Stephenson Exits Early During Thursday's Practice
Indiana Pacers forward Lance Stephenson (ankle) was unable to get through Thursday's practice. He has missed each of the last two games and it doesn't sound like he'll return this weekend. The Pacers are going to be somewhat shorthanded with Malcolm Brogdon (head) sidelined due to a concussion. Chris Duarte and Duane Washington Jr. are likely to benefit the most, assuming Stephenson remains out. Duarte is the better option between the two, but Washington should have deep league value.

Mon Mar 7 202218:18Chris Duarte, Lance Stephenson Questionable For Tuesday
Indiana Pacers guards Chris Duarte (toe) and Lance Stephenson (ankle) are both questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Duarte has been out since the end of February with left big toe soreness. Stephenson, meanwhile, missed the team's most recent game on Sunday with a left ankle sprain. We saw Buddy Hield log 40 minutes on Sunday while Tyrese Haliburton and Malcolm Brogdon logged 37 and 35 minutes, respectively. All three players should see another heavy workload if both Duarte and Stephenson sit, or if just one of them sits. Duane Washington Jr. is also a candidate for increased playing time depending on injuries.

Sun Mar 6 202217:45Lance Stephenson To Miss Contest Versus Cleveland
Indiana Pacers forward Lance Stephenson (ankle) isn't available for Sunday's outing versus the Wizards. The veteran continues to be plagued by a left ankle sprain, so it's unknown when he will make it back. With the team also without Chris Duarte (toe), Malcolm Brogdon, Buddy Hield, and Tyrese Haliburton will likely get as many minutes as they can handle, leaving little room for guys like Duane Washington Jr., Keifer Sykes, and Terry Taylor to benefit.

Fri Mar 4 202217:56Lance Stephenson, Goga Bitadze Cleared For Action Friday
Indiana Pacers small forward Lance Stephenson (ankle) and center Goga Bitadze (foot) have been given the green light to suit up for Friday's game vs. the Pistons. Stephenson is playing at less than 100 percent due to a sprained left ankle, but without Chris Duarte (toe) in the mix, the veteran figures to see an elevated offensive role among the second unit. Bitadze is working through right foot soreness to retain a limited role off the bench, as Isaiah Jackson has taken over primary starting center duties in Myles Turner's (foot) absence. Both players have a favorable DFS matchup against an exploitable Detroit defense, although their respective minutes ceilings may dissuade conservative fantasy managers.

Mon Feb 28 202218:20Chris Duarte In, Lance Stephenson Out On Monday
The Indiana Pacers have released updates on their injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. Chris Duarte (toe), who had been listed as probable due to a sore left big toe, is in for the game while Lance Stephenson is out. The team will also be without Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) for the game, so Duarte should be due for a heavy workload starting alongside Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield. Duane Washington Jr. and Terry Taylor should see increased minutes off the bench as well due to the absence of Stephenson and Brogdon.

Mon Feb 28 202215:24Lance Stephenson Doubtful On Monday
Indiana Pacers guard Lance Stephenson (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. Stephenson is dealing with a left ankle sprain. He was forced to sit out Sunday's game due to the injury. The Pacers will be without Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) on Monday. Chris Duarte (toe), who is currently listed as probable, should be in for a big workload in the game. We could also see increased minutes for Duane Washington Jr. and Terry Taylor. Stephenson has been a solid contributor in February, averaging 12.1 points, 4.1 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game over 22 minutes per game this month.

Sun Feb 27 202200:49Lance Stephenson Questionable On Sunday
Indiana Pacers forward Lance Stephenson (ankle) has been tagged as questionable ahead of Sunday's meeting against Boston. The 31-year-old veteran is currently plagued by a sprained left ankle, although it doesn't seem too serious. With Chris Duarte (toe) also questionable, Terry Taylor, who had seven points, four boards, and a steal against OKC on Friday night, could benefit in deeper fantasy formats while serving as a value option in DFS contests.

Sun Jan 9 202219:18Lance Stephenson To Stay With Pacers
Indiana Pacers forward Lance Stephenson is expected to stay with the organization for the rest of the season. The veteran forward is averaging 23 points, 9.5 assists, and 2.5 steals over the last two games. However, his usage will go down once Caris LeVert (protocols) and Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) get back on the court. Although, it appears he has done enough to earn himself a role in the rotation. Stephenson could be worth snagging as a short term streaming option. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect this magic to last forever, so capitalize on it now.

Fri Jan 25 201920:28Nikola Jokic suspended 1 game for leaving bench
DENVER (AP) — Nikola Jokic's one-game suspension for leaving the bench during an altercation took Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone by surprise."I felt — we felt — pretty strongly that he would not be suspended based on other instances, similar instances. But they saw it in a different light," Malone said prior to the Nuggets' game Friday night against the Phoenix Suns, who were missing their own center, DeAndre Ayton, with a sprained ankle.One of those similar situations Malone surely had in mind was NBA superstar Stephen Curry's avoidance of a suspension after leaving the bench in a strikingly similar manner to Jokic in Golden State's final preseason game a few months ago.On that night, the Lakers' Lance Stephenson was fouled by Quinn Cook and threw a quick punch. Curry rose from his seat on the baseline and took several steps onto the court. Curry wasn't suspended for the Warriors' next game, which was their season opener against Oklahoma City when the Warriors received their championship... [More]
