McConnell played 5 minutes and 56 seconds in the first quarter of Monday's game against the Cavs but hasn't returned to the floor since. He scored four points on 2 of 3 shooting and recorded a rebound an assist and a steal.
According to Pacers public relations, McConnell wasn't officially removed with an injury designation. However, McConnell is almost three weeks removed from his return from a hamstring strain in the preseason that cost him a month of action, including the season's first seven games. The Pacers were playing their third game in four nights on Monday.
