Jeff Pendergraph missed the Pacers practice on Monday following the birth of his daughter.

Game 1 vs. the Heat won't be played until Wednesday and there's no doubt that Pendergraph will be in uniform. Whether he plays in the series is another question, as he made just two brief cameos vs. the Knicks in the second round.

Jeff Pendergraph has earned the first fine for flopping in the playoffs this season.

Congratulations to Mr. Pendergraph on the prestigious award. The backup big man will be fined $5,000 for his first offense in the postseason and would be facing additional penalty if he's guilty again at any point during the rest of the season.
May 6 - 8:42 AM

Jeff Pendergraph scored 12 points off the bench on Sunday vs. New York, adding four boards and one assist in 17 minutes.

Tyler Hansbrough (one points and four boards) had a quiet game against the Knicks with just one point, but David West (17 points and eight boards) and his troublesome back figure to sit in at least one of the final two games of the year. Hansbrough makes sense as a pickup in standard leagues and Pendergraph could also be useful in deep leagues.
Apr 14 - 6:38 PM

Jeff Pendergraph had season highs with 14 points and 10 boards in 17 minutes against the Nets on Monday.

He picked up some extra playing time with David West out with an eye issue in the first half and he made the most of his time. West is fine, so Pendergraph can be ignored in almost all leagues.
Feb 12 - 12:33 AM

With Roy Hibbert (bruised thigh) unavailable, the Pacers started Jeff Pendergraph at center in the second half on Saturday.

Pendergraph finished with two points, three rebounds and one block in eight minutes, and with Hibbert targeting a return on Tuesday he has no fantasy upside.

Jeff Pendergraph (concussion) is "available to play," and could replace Tyler Hansbrough in the second unit.

Hansbrough has really struggled this season and is shooting just 37.6 percent from the field. He's averaging career-low marks across the board with 5.9 points and 4.2 rebounds to go with his putrid shooting clip. Even if the move is made, it won't have fantasy ramifications outside the deepest of leagues, and they'll be very minor at that.

Jeff Pendergraph is still out with a concussion.

Pendergraph is out indefinitely until further notice as he's been dealing with concussion symptoms since the start of November.

Jeff Pendergraph's issues with headaches have been upgraded to a concussion according to beat writer Mike Wells.

Pendergraph was having a great training camp so he might have a shot at the rotation when he returns, but he currently has no fantasy value.

Jeff Pendergraph (headaches) is out indefinitely.

Pendergraph is dealing with headaches that are preventing him from playing, so Tyler Hansbrough will continue his traditional role backing up David West.

Jeff Pendergraph did not play on Friday due to headaches.

Pendergraph is not guaranteed minutes on a nightly basis and has no fantasy value.

Jeff Pendergraph is having a great training camp and seems to legitimately be pushing Tyler Hansbrough for the right to back up PF David West.

"They're both playing at a really high level. It's Tyler's job to lose, but (Pendergraph) is making a strong push for it," coach Frank Vogel said. Pendergraph has been the most improved player in camp, and his rise is not a good sign for Hansbrough's fantasy value this season.

Coach Frank Vogel said that Jeff Pendergraph will be "pushing for minutes."

Pendergraph has really impressed Vogel and Donnie Walsh, with Walsh calling him the MVP of September. Despite his impressive offseason work, Pendergraph isn't on the fantasy radar and will merely be depth once again for the Pacers this season.

Jeff Pendergraph started for Roy Hibbert (rest) on Monday against the Pistons, setting season-highs in points (10) and rebounds (seven) in 18 minutes.

Pendergraph added two blocks and an assist. He might be worth a look in deeper leagues for Wednesday's finale against the Bulls, as Hibbert has already been announced to be on a minute-limit for that contest. Fellow starters A.J. Price scored two points on 1-of-3 shooting with four rebounds and six assists in 17 minutes, and Dahntay Jones had six points on 2-of-7 shooting with three boards, two assists, and a three.

Larry Bird admitted that Jeff Pendergraph could see more minutes at center going forward.

The Pacers didn't add a backup big man before the trade deadline, leaving Lou Amundson and Pendergraph as the sole backups behind Roy Hibbert with Jeff Foster (back) remaining out indefinitely. "Jeff is a banger. He knows how to play," Bird said. Neither Amundson nor Pendergraph are on the fantasy radar.
