Ben Sheppard Injury: Out with calf strain

Sheppard is out for Friday's game against the Bulls with a left calf strain.

This is a new injury for Sheppard, who's now going to be out for the first time this season. Calf strains have a tendency to be evaluated on a week-to-week basis, but since the Pacers haven't offered a timeline for a return, Sheppard can be deemed day-to-day for the time being. His absence should enhance T.J. McConnell's streaming appeal.
