Siakam (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
No surprise here, as Siakam was originally considered doubtful for this contest. It'll be a second straight absence due to a knee strain, and while it wouldn't be surprising if he missed a handful of games, the Pacers are treating him as day-to-day. With this news, Jarace Walker, Kobe Brown and Micah Potter could see additional minutes Thursday.

Jackson is out for Thursday's game against Phoenix due to right calf soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson can be considered day-to-day, with a quick turnaround on the horizon Friday versus the Knicks. With several Pacers still up in the air for Thursday, Ben Sheppard is lined up for a significant role in the backcourt against the Suns.

Wembanyama, who's listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Denver due to right ankle soreness, is a "true 50/50" after participating in San Antonio's morning shootaround, NBA reporter Matthew Tynan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tynan notes that it was a light shootaround, with no up-and-down court time, but Wembanyama participated during the portion of practice open to the media. Despite being active Thursday morning, the superstar's status for the evening tilt against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets, who are on the second night of a back-to-back set after blowing out the Rockets on Wednesday, remains up in the air. If Wembanyama doesn't suit up, it would be his first absence since missing two consecutive contests at the beginning of January due to left calf soreness. He's missed 14 games this season and would be ineligible for season-long awards if that reaches 18.

Okogie recorded 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 129-93 loss to Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Wednesday's game got out of hand during the second half, allowing Okogie to see more playing time off the bench. The 24 minutes were his most since Feb. 25, and considering Okogie got single-digit minutes in four of his prior six games to Wednesday, his fantasy appeal remains muted overall.

Mobley registered 18 points (8-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-7 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 128-122 loss to the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Although Mobley's counting stats were terrific, he had a nightmare showing at the free-throw line. That's been a common theme this season, as he's shooting 62.3 percent from the line on 4.5 attempts per game on average.
