Career History

Indiana Pacers 2023-Present (3 seasons)

Ben Sheppard: Breaking News

Ruled out versus Pistons

Sheppard (hip) won't play in Sunday's game against Detroit, Tony East of Forbes.com reports. Sheppard missed the Pacers' last four games, so his absence versus Detroit now marks the end of his season. Without him, Ethan Thompson is expected to remain in the starting lineup.

Questionable for Sunday

Sheppard (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Pistons. Sheppard has missed the past four games for the Pacers, but there's a chance he could get back out there for Indiana's regular-season finale. If he's cleared, Sheppard will likely have some minutes restrictions.

Won't play Friday

Sheppard (hip) is out for Friday's game versus Philadelphia, Tony East of Forbes.com reports. Sheppard is running his absence up to four consecutive games due to a hip injury. Quenton Jackson and Ethan Thompson should see more playmaking opportunities in the backcourt against the 76ers on Friday.
