Rotoworld Player News

Obi Toppin

IND Forward #1

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Obi Toppin (foot) is probable for Sunday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Toppin made his return from a stress fracture in his right foot on Thursday, starting but playing eight minutes in a loss to the Hornets. With Pascal Siakam (wrist) listed as doubtful, there may be another start in the cards for Toppin. However, after four months on the sidelines, he’s unlikely to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball.
Pascal Siakam

IND Forward #43

Pascal Siakam (wrist) is doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Siakam has missed Indiana’s last two games with a sprained left wrist, and it appears likely that he’ll miss a third on Sunday. If so, Obi Toppin is likely to get another start, although he played just eight minutes in his return to action on Thursday. That isn’t enough to make him a worthwhile streaming option.
Andrew Nembhard

IND Guard-Forward #2

Andrew Nembhard (back, neck) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Nembhard’s lower back has been an issue for a little while, but he is also listed to be dealing with neck soreness ahead of Sunday’s game. If the Pacers don’t have their starting point guard, Kam Jones could move into the lineup. However, the rookie has not been the best streaming option in most redraft leagues.
Quenton Jackson

IND Guard #29

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Pacers have signed Quenton Jackson to a three-year deal.

After spending the last three seasons on two-way contracts, Jackson has been rewarded with a standard deal. In the short term, Friday’s development ensures that he’ll be active for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. If the Pacers were to shut down Andrew Nembhard or T.J. McConnell, Jackson is one of the guards with “silly season standout” potential. He isn’t a must-add player currently, but fantasy managers in 14-team leagues should keep an eye on Jackson.
Micah Potter

IND Center #11

Micah Potter provided a boost off the bench with 19 points (6-of-11 FGs), four rebounds, one assist, two steals and five three-pointers against the Hornets on Thursday.

Potter has been on fire recently, scoring in double figures in six of his last seven games. After scoring a career-high 23 points on Tuesday, he followed that up by setting a new career high for three-pointers in this game. Potter has provided top-75 value in nine-category leagues over the past two weeks and should continue to play a large role for the remainder of the season.
Obi Toppin

IND Forward #1

Obi Toppin returned to the lineup on Thursday and contributed three points (1-of-4 FGs), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in eight minutes against the Hornets.

Toppin made his return after a four-month absence and was immediately inserted into the started unit. Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said before the game that his minutes would be managed, but he only ended up playing eight minutes in the first half before sitting out the rest of the game. Toppin should have a role the rest of the way, but he shouldn’t be rostered if his role is going to be this limited.
Obi Toppin

IND Forward #1

Andrew Nembhard, Ben Sheppard, Jarace Walker, Obi Toppin and Jay Huff will start against the Hornets on Thursday.

Toppin will immediately start in his first game since Oct. 26, which means rookie Kam Jones will head to the bench after starting Indiana’s last three games. He held streaming value as a starter, but with both Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell healthy, Jones likely won’t play enough to be worth keeping rostered.
Pascal Siakam

IND Forward #43

Pascal Siakam (wrist) has been ruled out against the Hornets on Thursday.

This will be a second straight absence for Siakam, which means Ben Sheppard should be in line for another start. Sheppard has averaged 11 points and 2.0 three-pointers over his last four starts and should continue to provide some triples in an increased role.
Andrew Nembhard

IND Guard-Forward #2

Andrew Nembhard (back) is available for Thursday’s game against the Hornets.

Nembhard is good to go after being listed on the Pacers’ injury report due to lower back injury management. He’ll take on his usual starting point guard duties, likely sharing the floor with Kam Jones.
Obi Toppin

IND Forward #1

Obi Toppin (foot) is available for Thursday’s game against the Hornets.

Thursday’s game will be Toppin’s first since October 26, when he injured his right foot against the Timberwolves. During his pregame availability, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said that Toppin’s minutes will be limited on Thursday and for the rest of the season. That limits the forward’s potential value, but managers who stashed Toppin for this long might as well take a conservative approach when deciding whether to drop him.
