Siakam has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to right elbow injury management.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam was initially listed as available for Sunday's game, but the Pacers flipped his status and have decided to rest the star forward, which makes sense given that the Pacers have already secured a spot in the playoffs. Siakam will end the season with averages of 20.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.9 steals per game. In his absence, Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker should see more minutes Sunday.

Siakam (elbow) is not on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam didn't play Friday against the Magic, but it seems the injury wasn't severe, and the power forward will see minutes in the regular-season finale, which will work as the team's final tune-up before the start of the playoffs. This means Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin are likely to return to their regular roles on the bench.

Siakam won't play Friday against the Magic due to right elbow injury management.
EDGE Analysis
With the Pacers locking down home-court advantage in the postseason, they will rest their entire starting lineup for the second leg of this back-to-back set. It remains to be seen if Siakam will suit up Sunday against the Cavaliers. Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin could step into larger roles in Siakam's absence.

Siakam chipped in 24 points (11-19 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 104-98 victory over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam returned from a one-game absence following an elbow injury and delivered a solid showing while notching his first double-double since March 11. Siakam is averaging 19.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and a combined 1.6 steals-plus-blocks per game in 19 contests since the beginning of March.

Siakam (elbow) will play in Tuesday's game against the Wizards, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam will overcome an elbow issue to suit up and send Obi Toppin to the bench, with the former returning from a one-game absence Sunday against the Nuggets. Provided Tuesday's soft matchup against Washington stays competitive, the star forward should see his normal allotment of minutes. Siakam has hit the 20-point mark in just one of his last seven games, during which he's averaged 14.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 29.3 minutes.

Siakam (elbow) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam missed Sunday's game against the Nuggets due to an elbow injury, and his status remains uncertain for Tuesday. If the star forward needs to sit out once more, the Pacers will likely give Obi Toppin the start at power forward. Toppin has averaged 28.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 5.5 three-pointers in 35.7 minutes over two appearances as a starter this season.

Siakam is out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets due to right olecranon bursitis.
EDGE Analysis
The Pacers will be without one of their best players due to an elbow injury, and the Pacers are willing to deploy a conservative approach with Siakam if that helps him be close to 100 percent for the playoffs. Siakam is averaging 16.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in his last 10 appearances, and if he's out, expect Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin to see more minutes in the frontcourt alongside Myles Turner. Siakam's next chance to play will come against the Wizards on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Siakam is questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz due to right elbow bursitis, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam didn't shoot all that well in his last appearance Wednesday against the Hornets, though it's unclear if the issue was bothering him during the matchup. If he's unable to go Friday, look for Jarace Walker, Bennedict Mathurin and Obi Toppin to see an increase in minutes.

Siakam totaled 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 119-105 win over the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Siakam's numbers have been trending in the wrong direction over the last few weeks. The veteran big man remains one of the Pacers' go-to options on offense, but his numbers have been subpar of late, and the last three games have been particularly worrisome -- he's averaging 12.3 points per game while shooting 34.1 percent from the field in that span. There's a chance this is nothing but a cold stretch, however, as he's averaging 19.3 points per game while shooting 49.9 percent from the floor since the All-Star break.
