EDGE Analysis

McConnell is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to the right ankle sprain.

McConnell will not return to Sunday's game against the Clippers due to a right ankle sprain.

EDGE Analysis

McConnell exited Sunday's contest for the locker room in the fourth quarter after tweaking his right ankle. He concludes the game with 13 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and a steal in 14 minutes of action. With the Pacers hosting the Nuggets on Monday, it wouldn't be surprising if McConnell is forced to miss at least one game. Ben Sheppard would likely see an uptick in minutes should McConnell miss any time.

McConnell logged seven points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), one rebound and six assists across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 128-115 loss to New York.

EDGE Analysis

This was one of McConnell's best games in a while, but his workloads have left a lot to be desired. Through six February contests, McConnell is averaging 14.7 minutes per game with 7.3 points, 4.8 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 0.8 steals on 45.0 percent shooting from the field.

McConnell finished Wednesday's 133-119 victory over Detroit with 14 points (7-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and three steals in 21 minutes off the bench.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran guard hasn't played more than 21 minutes in a game since Dec. 22, while the 14 points represented his best scoring effort since he erupted for 30 against the Hornets on Dec. 8. McConnell's consistent defensive production has kept him on the deep-league fantasy radar, however. He's recorded at least one steal in six straight games, averaging 8.7 points, 4.7 assists, 3.3 boards and 1.7 steals during that span in just 17.3 minutes a contest.
