Pacers' James Wiseman: Perfect from field Tuesday
Wiseman logged eight points (4-4 FG, 0-3 FT) and four rebounds across 16 minutes in Tuesday's 131-130 preseason loss to the Hawks.
Wiseman got the start in place of Myles Turner (knee) and was impressive, hitting all four of his shots from the field and looking active on the glass despite playing a mere 16 minutes. Wiseman will aim to deliver a good impression on the coaching staff in the upcoming preseason contests, as he's battling with Isaiah Jackson (undisclosed) for the backup center position behind Turner.

Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Efficient in preseason debut
Siakam posted 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists and a steal across 16 minutes in Tuesday's 131-130 preseason loss to the Hawks.
The Pacers limited their starters to only 16 minutes in the preseason opener, but Siakam was undoubtedly one of the top performers for Indiana. The star forward signed a four-year, $189.5 million maximum contract with the Pacers in the offseason and figures to be one of the team's go-to players on offense alongside Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Logs 16 minutes in preseason opener
Haliburton recorded eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists across 16 minutes in Tuesday's 131-130 preseason loss to the Hawks.
The Pacers limited their starting lineup to only 16 minutes in this preseason opener. While Haliburton looked rusty with his shot from beyond the arc, there should be nothing to worry about when looking toward the regular season. Haliburton is coming off a career-best season in 2023-24, averaging 20.1 points and 10.9 assists per contest. He will be Indiana's offensive barometer as long as he remains healthy.

With both Myles Turner (knee) and Isaiah Jackson (hamstring) ruled out, Wiseman will get the starting nod.

Turner (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's preseason opener versus the Hawks.
Turner was a last-minute addition to the injury report and will sit for the club's preseason matchup, though he is expected to be back by Opening Night. The big man's absence will likely allow the Pacers to get an extended look at Jarace Walker and James Wiseman with Isaiah Jackson (hamstring) out.

Jackson was a limited participant in practice Friday, and he remains a question mark ahead of the season due to an undisclosed injury.

Pacers' Johnny Furphy: Not participating in 5-on-5 Friday
Furphy (ankle) will not participate in the Pacers' 5-on-5 scrimmage Sunday, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Furphy has been dealing with an ankle injury which has kept him limited during training camp. The 19-year-old participated fully in Friday's practice, so the club is likely just taking it slow with the rookie until the regular season begins. Furphy is expected to compete for playing time in the second unit, though the Pacers have a plethora of young talent on the wing in Aaron Nesmith, Bennedict Mathurin and Jarace Walker.

Pacers' Johnny Furphy: Practices fully Friday
Furphy (ankle) was active during Friday's practice, Tony East of SI.com reports.
Furphy was back in the mix Friday, and he ran with the second unit of T.J. McConnell, Ben Sheppard, Bennedict Mathurin and Obi Toppin -- Isaiah Jackson (undisclosed) was a limited participant. Furphy will likely struggle to find consistent minutes on the wing surrounded by a plethora of young talent; however, the 19-year-old's return to full-on practice bodes well for his opportunity to impress during the preseason.

Pacers' Bennedict Mathurin: Says he's 100 percent
Mathurin (shoulder) said Monday that he will be a full go for training camp this week, Tony East of SI.com reports.
Mathurin said he's been 100 percent for a month and a half, so he should be able to hit the ground running during the preseason. His sophomore season was abruptly ended due to a torn labrum in his right shoulder that required surgery, but the Pacers will be thrilled to see him ready to roll for the upcoming season. In 59 regular-season contests in 2023-24, Mathurin averaged 14.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 26.1 minutes.

Pacers' Jahlil Okafor: Signs camp deal with Pacers
The Pacers signed Okafor to a training camp deal on Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Okafor last played in the NBA in 2021 and is working toward making a comeback to The Association. He spent the 2023-24 season playing in three different countries -- Spain, China and Puerto Rico. Since Pacers officials were impressed with his health and conditioning following a workout, he'll get a chance to crack the roster out of training camp. If that's not the case, Parker would suit up for the Fort Wayne Mad Ants of the G League.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Cleared for training camp
Haliburton (leg) has been cleared for training camp next week, Tony East of Sports Illustrated reports.
Haliburton was dealing with a lingering leg issue during the Paris Olympics, so he didn't see the floor much for Team USA. Specifics regarding the injury were never disclosed, though there was speculation that his hamstring was still acting up after it gave him problems during the NBA's regular season. Pacers general manager Chad Buchanan confirmed Haliburton has already passed a conditioning test, and he anticipates that the guard will be a full go at camp.
