Pacers Reveal Injury Report For Game vs Mavericks

The Indiana Pacers will be taking on the Dallas Mavericks tonight, with the team trying to get back in the win column.

Indiana lost its last game to the Denver Nuggets, sending the team to a 3-7 record for the season. Tonight, Indiana will be in Dallas to take on the Mavericks, with the Pacers looking to improve on their 3-2 road record this year.

The Pacers have strangely been better on the road than at home this season, offering them a chance in this game. The Mavericks beat the Pacers a few weeks ago in the home opener for Indiana by a score of 121-105.

Indiana will be looking for some revenge tonight, but the team does have a few players listed on the injured list. The Pacers have been dealing with injuries all season long, so this game against Dallas will be nothing new.

In the game, Indiana will be down a few players, with guard Tyrese Haliburton remaining out due to his hamstring injury. But the Pacers will also be missing guard Ben Sheppard, as he recovers from left meniscus surgery.

Johnny Furphy will also be out as he recovers from surgery. And finally, guard T.J. McConnell is questionable for the game while dealing with a right hamstring injury. 

Indiana will have star Pascal Siakam on the court, and the entire offense will have to go through him. Siakam has been forced to take on a larger role than expected this season, especially with Haliburton out due to his injury.

If McConnell isn't able to go, the playmaking duties will likely fall on Siakam and Andrew Nembhard. Indiana's offense has been a little shaky this season, mainly due to the injuries that have limited it.

Nembhard has been solid for the Pacers this season, stepping up as the team has needed him with all the injuries to the roster. For the year, the guard has averaged 17.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.1 blocks per game.

Against the Mavericks, the Pacers will need to make sure that they can keep up the scoring, with Dallas being a very strong offensive team. Second-year star Cooper Flagg is one of the better players in the NBA, and the Mavericks also have star Kyrie Irving to complement him on the floor.

The two teams will tip-off at 5:00 p.m. PT/8:00 p.m. ET from American Airlines Center in Dallas.
