Available against Magic
Sheppard (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Analysis
Sheppard was last seen during the Dec. 3 loss to the Nuggets, but he's recovered from a left calf strain and is ready for game action. With the Pacers a bit healthier now than they were the last time Sheppard was available, the guard is ticketed for a reserve role Wednesday. Sheppard has averaged 5.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 23.3 minutes per tilt across 11 games off the bench this season.

Iffy for Wednesday
Sheppard (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Analysis
Sheppard hasn't appeared in a game since suffering a Grade 1 calf strain Dec. 3, but he's currently listed as day-to-day. If he's able to give it a go Wednesday, the Pacers will likely monitor his minutes closely.

Won't play Monday
Sheppard is out for Monday's game against the Rockets due to a left calf strain.
Analysis
The Pacers had initially upgraded Sheppard to questionable before ruling out the guard, suggesting his return is imminent. With Sheppard out Monday, T.J. McConnell should pick up a few extra minutes in the Indiana backcourt.

Chance to return Monday
Sheppard (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Houston.
Analysis
Sheppard hasn't appeared in a game since suffering a Grade 1 calf strain Dec. 3. However, he has a chance to make his return to the hardwood Monday. Even if he's available, Sheppard would likely have his minutes monitored.

Remaining out Saturday
Sheppard (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Analysis
Sheppard hasn't played since Dec. 3 due to a Grade 1 left calf strain and is without a concrete timetable for a return. He should be considered week-to-week until the Pacers offer an update on his recovery.
