McDermott (teeth) is likely to play Wednesday against the Cavaliers, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott was initially questionable after needing a dental procedure Tuesday, but he's recovering well enough to probably take the court Wednesday. With Domantas Sabonis (ankle) questionable, McDermott could be in line for extra touches if the All-Star is sidelined.

McDermott (teeth) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott was hit in the mouth during Monday's game against the 76ers, and he underwent dental work Tuesday. Even with that being the case, there's a chance he plays Wednesday, which is the Pacers' second-to-last game before the All-Star break. If he's out Wednesday, more minutes could go to Edmond Sumner.

McDermott (teeth) is undergoing dental work on Tuesday after taking a blow to the mouth in Monday's game against Philadelphia, J. Michael of The Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott remains with the team on its current road trip, but his status for Wednesday's game against Cleveland is uncertain at this point after he had at least one tooth dislodged during Monday's game. The 29-year-old should be considered questionable for now until another update is given as to his status for Wednesday. Over his last five games, McDermott has averaged 11.6 points on 42.0 percent shooting, 3.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.4 threes per game.

McDermott tallied 20 points (6-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and five rebounds across 22 minutes Saturday in the Pacers' 110-107 loss to the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott was the only Pacers starter who played under 30 minutes, but he made the most of his playing time by finishing as the team's scoring leader. Since returning from an ankle injury that sidelined him for a game, the 29-year-old has averaged 12.3 points across the Pacers' last four contests. McDermott could be in store for some more run during the Pacers' upcoming three-game week if Malcolm Brogdon (knee) -- who sat out Saturday -- and Jeremy Lamb (knee) -- who exited early -- miss time.

McDermott (knee) is officially active for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
After testing his knee out during pregame warmups, McDermott appears to be good to go and will play Wednesday. He's averaging 13.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in just over 26 minutes per game this season, and he should return to his usual role in the lineup barring any further setbacks.

McDermott (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game at Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old tweaked his right knee during Saturday's win over Atlanta and sat out Monday's matchup with the Bulls, but he may not end up missing additional time. T.J. McConnell could receive another start for the Pacers if McDermott is unable to play Wednesday.

McDermott (knee) took part in portions of Tuesday's practice but is uncertain for Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott missed his first game of the season Monday due to knee soreness but it sounds like he at least has a chance to return for Wednesday's game. The 29-year-old's potential return would impact the value of T.J. McConnell, who started with McDermott sidelined.

McDermott (knee) will not play in Monday's game against Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
A sore right knee landed McDermott on the injury report following Saturday's win over Atlanta, which he finished with 26 points, three rebounds and three assists. The issue will ultimately keep him out of Monday's game, meaning Jeremy Lamb, Justin Holiday and perhaps JaKarr Sampson could see some extra playing time. T.J. McConnell will enter the starting five in McDermott's place as the Pacers go with a smaller lineup.
