T.J. McConnell Sustains Hamstring Injury in Preseason Opener
T.J. McConnell (hamstring) played only eight minutes in Tuesday's preseason opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He exited the contest in the second quarter due to a sore left hamstring. McConnell was off to a great start in the game, posting seven points, two rebounds, three assists, and one steal. The Pacers have lost Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) for the season, so they are likely to exercise extreme caution with their remaining point guards during the preseason. It wouldn't be surprising if McConnell sits out the rest of the preseason schedule to ensure he's fully ready for the regular-season opener. McConnell will continue to come off the bench for the Pacers in 2025-26, but he may see an increase in usage without Haliburton.
