Indiana Pacers

Pascal Siakam

F

Siakam rolled his left ankle and tweaked his back late in the game, which ended his evening prematurely. He didn't require a trip to the locker room, but this could be the sort of injury that swells up overnight, so don't be surprised if he pops up on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game in Cleveland. If Siakam needs to miss a game, Obi Toppin could get a start, and there would be more opportunities for Kobe Brown and Jay Huff on offense.

Andrew Nembhard

G

Nembhard will miss a second consecutive contest because of Cervical and Lumbar soreness. With only six games left before the Pacers call it a season, it's unknown if he'll be back on the floor. With T.J. McConnell (hamstring) also ruled out, Quenton Jackson may find himself back in the starting lineup.

T.J. McConnell

G

The veteran floor general's next opportunity to return arrives Sunday in Cleveland. More playing time will be available for Kam Jones, Quenton Jackson and Ethan Thompson in the backcourt Friday.

Jarace Walker

F

Walker will miss a third straight game due to a lower-back bruise, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday in Cleveland. With the third-year forward out, Kobe Brown and Ben Sheppard are candidates for increased playing time.

Aaron Nesmith

G

Nesmith will miss a third straight game while dealing with a neck injury. The Vanderbilt product has been easing back into basketball activities and managed to participate in practice in a limited capacity Tuesday. Nesmith's next chance to take the court will arrive Sunday in Cleveland.
