T.J. McConnell

IND Point Guard #9

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

T.J. McConnell provided a boost off the bench with 12 points (6-of-12 FGs), nine rebounds, six assists and four steals against the Thunder on Thursday.

McConnell has been fantastic in this series, and this was arguably his best performance. He has averaged 11.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.3 steals through the first six games of the Finals, and he has scored in double figures four times. He stepped up with Tyrese Haliburton (calf) not fully healthy, which allowed them to manage Haliburton’s minutes. McConnell has been invaluable for the Pacers in this series, and they’ll need him to continue to contribute on Sunday, especially if Haliburton’s calf is still bothering him.
Obi Toppin

IND Power Forward #1

Obi Toppin led the Pacers with 20 points (6-of-12 FGs), six rebounds, two steals and four three-pointers against the Thunder in Game 6 on Thursday.

Toppin continues to shine for Indiana. He has scored in double figures in six of their last eight games and in three straight, and his timing couldn’t be any better. This was his second 20-point game of this postseason, with the other coming in Game 4 against the Cavs. Toppin has been at his best at home, but he has had some solid performances on the road, including in Games 1 and 5 of this series. If he can keep it up, the Pacers will have a strong chance of winning Game 7 on Sunday.
Pascal Siakam

IND Power Forward #43

Pascal Siakam recorded a double-double on Thursday with 16 points (6-of-14 FGs), 13 rebounds, three assists, one block and one three-pointer against the Thunder.

After scoring at least 20 points in three straight games, Siakam didn’t do as much scoring in Game 6, but he still made enough of an impact for Indiana to force a Game 7 on Sunday. This was his second double-double of the series and only his third of this postseason run, and the 13 rebounds were the most he’s had in a game during these playoffs. Siakam will likely need to do more scoring on Sunday for the Pacers to win a ring on the road.
Tyrese Haliburton

IND Point Guard #0

Tyrese Haliburton logged 23 minutes on Thursday and contributed 14 points (5-of-12 FGs), one rebound, five assists, two steals and three three-pointers in a 108-91 win over the Thunder in Game 6.

This game could not have gone any better for the Pacers. They took control in the second quarter and extended the lead after halftime, which allowed them to manage Haliburton’s minutes. There were reports that if this were the regular season, Haliburton would likely be in line to miss multiple weeks. He showed incredible resilience by even suiting up, and while the numbers weren’t eye-popping, he played really well in this game and hit some big shots to help them take a big lead. They’ll continue to monitor his injury, but it would be shocking if he didn’t play in Game 7 on Sunday with a championship on the line.
Tyrese Haliburton

IND Point Guard #0

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said Tyrese Haliburton will play in Game 6 of the NBA Finals against the Thunder on Thursday.

Carlisle said that Haliburton went through strength testing and did “very well.” He also mentioned that there won’t be a minutes restriction, but they will monitor Haliburton closely. Trips to the NBA Finals don’t come around often, so it isn’t surprising that Haliburton will play through the injury. We’ll see if Haliburton’s presence, along with the home crowd, is enough to force a Game 7.
Tyrese Haliburton

IND Point Guard #0

ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Tyrese Haliburton (calf) has every intention in playing in Game 6 of the NBA Finals on Thursday.

Haliburton is currently listed as questionable with a right calf strain. The 25-year-old point guard participated in practice on Wednesday and is expected to go through a walkthrough ahead of Game 6 on Thursday. Charania said he was told Haliburton would miss multiple weeks if this were the regular season, but this game carries paramount importance as the Pacers are facing elimination in Game 6. Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said earlier this week Haliburton would probably be a game-time decision.
Tyrese Haliburton

IND Point Guard #0

Tyrese Haliburton (calf) is questionable for Game 6 of the NBA Finals on Thursday.

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said during his availability that Haliburton would be questionable for Game 6, so the official designation is unsurprising. The star point guard suffered a strained right calf during the first half of Monday’s Game 5 defeat. While Haliburton did his best to play through the injury, he lacked his usual burst and spent most of his time lingering on the perimeter. Even if Haliburton can play on Thursday, the Pacers will need more production from backup T.J. McConnell, who played well on Monday.

IND Point Guard #0

ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that Tyrese Haliburton will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of what is believed to be a right calf strain.

Haliburton downplayed the severity of the injury that was noticeably bothering him in Game 5 by saying that, because it’s the NBA Finals, if he can walk, he’ll play. Well, if he does half a strained calf, that could certainly keep him from walking. If there is any chance of Haliburton playing, he’ll do it, but this an MRI isn’t an optimistic update. Hopefully Charania’s next report will have better news, but as of now, Indiana may have turn to T.J. McConnell for more minutes off the bench, with Andrew Nembhard sliding over to point guard in the starting unit.
Mojave King

Shooting Guard #8

ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the Pacers have traded pick No. 23 and the rights to Mojave King to the Pelicans in exchange for the Pacers’ 2026 first-round pick.

The Pacers still hold the 54th pick in this draft, but they no longer have a first-round selection. However, they were able to get their own pick in 2026 back. The Pelicans now have two first-round picks, including pick No. 7. New Orleans will be able to add some young talent this summer, and there are still more moves for them to make. King was selected with the 47th pick in 2023, and after spending time in the G League, he has most recently been playing in New Zealand. This trade won’t change that, unless he ends up returning to the NBA.
Myles Turner

IND Center #33

Myles Turner accumulated 13 points (3-of-5 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer in Monday’s Game 5 loss to the Thunder.

After attempting at least 10 shots in each of the first four games of the series, Turner only took five in Game 5. While he isn’t going to be a marquee offensive option for the Pacers, they need more from Turner, especially with Tyrese Haliburton (calf) injured. Just as concerning is the three-point shooting. After making two of five attempts in Game 1, Turner is just 3-of-17 from beyond the arc. And he isn’t the only one struggling, with Indiana shooting 37 percent or worse from deep in each of the last four games. The Pacers will need to turn that around if they’re to have a chance of winning Game 6 on Thursday.
