Ben Sheppard: Breaking News
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.
