Brooks will not play Friday against the Nets due to a sore right knee.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks was able to suit up for the Pacers' season opener despite his sore knee, but he did not play in that contest, and he will not be able to do Friday either. Brooks has not been ruled out for the Pacers' next game Saturday against the Bulls, but given the quick turnaround, the knee issue could cost him further action.

Brooks (knee) will be available for Wednesday's season opener against the Mavericks, Nate Taylor of the Indy Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, the veteran will be in uniform Wednesday after he returned to practice in full capacity earlier in the week. Brooks will compete with Rodney Stuckey for backup minutes at point guard this season behind entrenched starter Jeff Teague.

Brooks (knee) was able to take part in a full practice Monday for the second straight day, Scott Agness of Vigilant Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks, the Pacers' backup point guard, seems to be trending toward availability for Wednesday's season opener against the Mavericks, but he may only be asked to play limited minutes in that contest. Agness characterized Brooks as "a ways away" from being where he needs to be in his recovery from the right knee issue, so it wouldn't be shocking if the Pacers ultimately opted to hold him out Wednesday.

Brooks (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks was hampered by a hip injury earlier in the preseason, but now it's a knee issue that will keep him out of a second straight preseason contest. In his absence, expect Jeff Teague and Joe Young to see the majority of the minutes at point guard.

Brooks (knee) is considered doubtful to play in Wednesday's preseason finale against Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

A hip injury has limited Brooks to only two preseason games, which has enabled Joe Young to see increased minutes as the backup to Jeff Teague. Assuming Brooks is held out again Wednesday, expect Teague and Young to see the bulk of the minutes at point guard with Julyan Stone and Rodney Stuckey holding down minor roles, respectively.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks just got over a hip injury that held him out for an extended time in the preseason, and will now be forced to sit out again with a sore knee. The severity of the injury is currently unknown, and his status could potentially be precautionary, but in his absence, Joe Young will likely see some extended minutes Friday.

Brooks (hip) will play in Saturday's preseason game against the Bulls, Nate Taylor of the Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks is set to make his preseason debut Saturday after dealing with a hip issue that forced him to miss the Pacers' first two exhibition contests. Coach Nate McMillan, however, may elect to limit the veteran guard's minutes to ensure his health moving forward.

Brooks (hip) will not play Thursday against the Bulls, Nate Taylor of the Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks did return to practice Wednesday after missing Tuesday's preseason game against the Pelicans, but it looks like the point guard still isn't ready for action and game-speed. Second-year player Joe Young is set to once again take over backup point guard duties in Brooks' absence Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks has dealt with a hip injury recently, causing him to sit out Monday's practice, as well as Tuesday's preseason matchup with the Pelicans. He was able to return to practice Wednesday, so he should be nearing a return to full strength. The Pacers will play the Bulls on Thursday, so there's a good chance Brooks is able to get back on the court for that preseason outing.

EDGE Analysis

Brooks was forced to miss Monday's practice with a hip injury and is still dealing with some lingering pain, so he'll sit out Tuesday's preseason game. Brooks is expected to backup Jeff Teague at point guard this season, but in his absence, Rodney Stuckey and Joe Young could see additional time on the floor.
