Obi Toppin will undergo surgery for a foot injury, sidelining him for at least three months. Already out with a hamstring injury, his recovery is now extended with a projected return in early February. Fantasy managers holding Toppin should consider cutting ties, while Jarace Walker emerges as a potential pick-up for those needing depth on the waiver wire.

In Thursday night’s matchup against the Thunder, Obi Toppin delivered an impressive 20-point performance, contributing five rebounds, three assists, and two steals from the bench. With Isaiah Jackson and Jay Huff’s roles in question, Toppin’s standout play at power forward strengthens his case for increased minutes with the Pacers this season. As Toppin remains rostered in only 17% of leagues, his potential to become a consistent producer adds intrigue for fantasy managers seeking depth.
