Bowen (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Bowen hadn't yet taken the court to begin the season due to his left groin strain, but he'll be available to make his debut Sunday. However, he isn't expected to play a major role for the Pacers this year.

Bowen (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old has yet to see the court this season due to the left groin strain, but he's clearly progressing toward his debut with the questionable tag. Bowen averaged 5.2 minutes in six appearances last season, and he's unlikely to be a significant piece of Indiana's rotation once healthy.

Bowen (groin) is ruled out for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Bowen appears to be progressing in his recovery from a partial groin tear suffered December, but his season debut will have to wait. The 22-year-old was initially listed as 'doubtful' for Thursday's contest, indicating he had at least some chance to play, which is certainly a good sign.

Bowen (groin) is doubtful for Thursday's game at Portland.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old isn't expected to play Thursday, but the fact he hasn't already been ruled out is significant progress after being ruled out 6-to-8 weeks with a partial groin tear in early December. Bowen doesn't figure to see the court in the immediate future, but his season debut may not be far off.

Bowen was diagnosed with a partial groin tear Thursday and will be out for six to eight weeks.
EDGE Analysis
In what is a relatively serious injury, Bowen will be sidelined likely until late January or early February. That said, he wasn't expected to have a major impact this season, so the Pacers' rotation won't change as a result.

Bowen re-signed with the Pacers on a two-way contract Friday, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old forward was on a two-way deal last season as well. He saw 31 NBA minutes, totaling six points, seven rebounds and one block. In the G League, he saw 33.9 minutes per game and averaged 16.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals.

Bowen was sent to the G League on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Following Bowen's start during Friday's game against the Bulls, he's been sent down to the G League. Given the myriad of injuries the Pacers are dealing with, it wouldn't be surprising if he made his way back up to the NBA sooner than later.

Bowen finished with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and four rebounds in 15 minutes during the Pacers' 108-102 victory over the Bulls on Friday
EDGE Analysis
Bowen played more on Friday than he had in the rest of his Pacers' tenure put together. That being said, he was merely a figurehead starter, as four guards/small forwards logged more minutes off the bench.

Bowen will start Friday against the Bulls, J. Michael of The Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
T.J. Warren (leg) is sidelined, and coach Nate McMillan will opt to keep the second unit together as much as possible by starting Bowen. The rookie has totaled 14 minutes for the Pacers this season, racking up four points, three rebounds and one block.

Bowen had 13 points (4-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block over 36 minutes in Sunday's G League loss to Canton.
EDGE Analysis
Bowen had been electric on the scoreboard over the past three contests as he averaged 25.7 points during that span, and while he quieted down in the scoring column Sunday, he still managed to record a double-double. The 21-year-old is now averaging 15.7 points and 7.7 rebounds per game this season.
