INDIANAPOLIS -- All-Star forward Pascal Siakam is listed as doubtful and the Pacers have 10 players listed as questionable for Sunday's 3:30 p.m. game against the Bucks in Milwaukee.
Siakam, the Pacers' leading scorer with 24.0 points per game, is likely to miss his fourth straight game with a right knee sprain suffered on Sunday in Indiana's game against the Trail Blazers in Portland. Much of the rest of the roster is up in the air as the last-place Pacers try to navigate a stretch of three games in four days and five games in seven days.
Starting point guard Andrew Nembhard (right calf contusion), veteran point guard T.J. McConnell (right hamstring soreness), guards Quenton Jackson (right calf strain) and Ben Sheppard (left ankle sprain), forwards Aaron Nesmith (right ankle injury management) and Obi Toppin (right foot injury management) and center Ivica Zubac (left ankle sprain) are the seven players listed as questionable for injury reasons. Their three two-way contract players -- guards Ethan Thompson and Taelon Peter and forward Jalen Slawson -- are listed as questionable on the basis of their two-way status.
All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton (right Achilles tendon tear) and forward Johnny Furphy (ACL tear) are out for the season.
Jackson has missed the last three games with the calf strain. McConnell, Nesmith and Toppin sat out Thursday's game against the Suns and Nembhard missed Tuesday's game against the Kings. Sheppard's injury is a new addition. Zubac missed a month but returned to action on Thursday, playing in his first game since being acquired from the Clippers on Feb. 5.
The Bucks played the Hawks on Saturday afternoon so they don't have to file an injury report until Sunday morning.
