McConnell Returns to Form with Season-High 22 Minutes, 16 Points

T.J. McConnell recorded 16 points (8-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, five assists, and three steals over a season-high 22 minutes during the Indiana Pacers' 122-117 loss to Detroit on Monday. He acknowledged that recovering from his hamstring injury was challenging but feels he is now rounding into form. McConnell looked fantastic on the court and could become a significant fantasy contributor if he consistently earns minutes in the mid-20s, given his upside in assists and steals.
