Injury Report and Player Updates
- T.J. McConnell – After missing time with a preseason hamstring injury, the Pennsylvania native is now available and expected to make his season debut in Utah. His return will give Indiana’s backcourt a much-needed boost.
- Andrew Nembhard – Recently came back from a shoulder injury and should benefit from McConnell’s return, easing his workload.
- Monte Morris – Will likely see a reduced role with McConnell back in action.
- Pascal Siakam (rest) and Aaron Nesmith (forearm) – Both missed Sunday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors but are not listed on Indiana’s current injury report, suggesting they are cleared to play.
“The Arizona alum being able to suit up will take a lot of pressure off Andrew Nembhard, who recently returned from a shoulder injury.”

Indiana’s health improvements come at a crucial time as they try to stabilize their early-season struggles. Meanwhile, Utah seeks to halt its current slide at home in Salt Lake City.
