Player Info

T.J. McConnell is the heart-and-soul backup point guard for the Indiana Pacers, embodying hustle, intelligence, and relentless energy off the bench. The 33-year-old from Pittsburgh, an undrafted success story out of the University of Arizona, has become a fan favorite everywhere he's played, first with the Philadelphia 76ers and now with the Pacers. McConnell's game is defined by his pesky defense, savvy playmaking, and a reliable mid-range jumper. He holds the rare distinction of recording a triple-double off the bench in the NBA, showcasing his all-around impact. A key part of the Pacers' recent resurgence, McConnell's ball pressure and ability to run the second-unit offense have been instrumental in their playoff runs. While individual awards have been scarce, his value is immeasurable in terms of team chemistry and winning plays. Known for diving for loose balls and making the extra pass, McConnell has carved out a decade-long NBA career through sheer will and basketball IQ, proving himself as one of the league's most dependable backup guards.
