Sitting out Wednesday
McConnell has been ruled out for Wednesday's against Brooklyn due to right hamstring soreness.
Analysis
McConnell joins a long list of Pacers getting the night off in what's likely a maintenance day in the team's final game before the All-Star break. With Andrew Nembhard (back) also sitting out, Kam Jones, Quenton Jackson and Ethan Thompson are left as the Pacers' available options at point guard.

Game-time call for Tuesday
McConnell is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks due to right hamstring soreness.
Analysis
McConnell didn't show any signs of a hamstring injury his last time on the court, but he's now in jeopardy of missing Tuesday's clash. The team should have a better idea of his status closer to tipoff.

Producing in limited action
McConnell accumulated 10 points (5-5 FG), three rebounds, seven assists and one block across 16 minutes during Sunday's 122-104 loss to the Raptors.
Analysis
The veteran floor general continues to be an effective per-minute contributor for the Pacers. McConnell has averaged 8.8 points, 4.7 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 15.9 minutes per contest in his last six games, but his fantasy value is likely to remain held back by his role and lack of availability on both ends of back-to-backs.

Will play vs. Bucks
McConnell (knee) has been cleared to play Friday against Milwaukee.
Analysis
McConnell was held out of Tuesday's game due to left knee injury management, but he'll be a full go Friday after a few days of rest. The veteran guard is averaging 8.2 points, 2.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.4 steals across 17.0 minutes in his last five matchups.
