Indiana Pacers guard Ben Sheppard suffered an injury during the team's game against the New Orleans Pelicans on October 21, 2026, at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. The 26-year-old was seen reacting to a kick-ball violation in the first half before leaving the contest.
Sheppard's absence could create an opening for a teammate to step into a larger role, though the Pacers have not disclosed the severity of the injury or a timeline for his return.
