Sampson (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson hasn't cracked the rotation since March 1, but his status is still uncertain for Friday due to soreness in his left knee. The potential absence of the 27-year-old will not impact the team's rotation.

Sampson (COVID-19 protocols) is listed as available for Saturday's game against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

This comes as a surprise since coach Nate Bjorkgren said after Friday's loss to the Celtics that Sampson isn't traveling with the team. Things have apparently changed, and Sampson will be with the Pacers in New York. Still, he's not a regular part of the rotation, so his presence likely won't affect things much.

Pacers head coach Nate Bjorkgren said after Friday's 118-112 loss to the Celtics that Sampson (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) isn't traveling with the team, but should be back "soon," Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson was ruled out ahead of Friday's game after entering the league's health and safety protocol, and he looks safe to rule out for the second half of the Pacers' back-to-back set Saturday against the Knicks in New York. After Saturday, the Pacers will conclude their road trip with games Monday in Philadelphia and Wednesday in Cleveland, so Sampson could have a shot at rejoining the team ahead of either of those contests. The 27-year-old hasn't been a consistent member of Bjorkgren's rotation this season, so his absence won't have any major fantasy implications.

Sampson (COVID-19 protocols) won't play Friday against the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old has played sparingly this season, so his absence is unlikely to affect Indiana's rotation. Sampson's status remains in question for the second half of the back-to-back set Saturday in New York.

Sampson (COVID-19 protocols) is questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson has seen minimal usage for the Pacers this season, but he's now in the league's health and safety protocols. His status for Friday's matchup shouldn't have a significant impact on the team's rotation.

Sampson totaled two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT) and one rebound during Tuesday's win over Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

This was Sampson's first time seeing the court since Jan. 20 against Dallas, snapping a streak of six straight DNP-coach's decisions. Prior to Tuesday's outing, Sampson was averaging 2.5 points and 2.6 rebounds in 7.4 minutes.

Sampson (illness) is available to play Sunday against the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson will return from a one-game absence due to an illness. He's averaging just 7.4 minutes per game so far this season, so his availability shouldn't affect the team's rotation too much.

Sampson (illness) is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Pacers list Sampson as questionable on their official injury report, but the 27-year-old looks like he'll be ready to go in advance of the 1 p.m. ET opening tip. Indiana recently reclaimed some health with the returns of Myles Turner (hand) and Jeremy Lamb (knee) from injury, so Sampson won't necessarily be a lock to gain entry into head coach Nate Bjorkgren's rotation Sunday.

Sampson is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors due to a non-COVID-19 illness.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson's role is in flux for the Pacers, so his potential absence shouldn't change much for the team, especially since he was a DNP-CD last game.

Sampson (back) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Tony East of Forbes Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson missed Sunday's game against the Clippers with a minor back issue, but he'll be back to availability off the bench Wednesday. He could see a slightly elevated workload with Myles Turner (hand) sidelined Wednesday.
