After their win over the Miami Heat on Sunday night, the Indiana Pacers are now 6-7. The Pacers have only been a .500 team or better four times this season, but they do not have to wait long for another crack at it. Indiana begins their three-game road trip tonight against the Toronto Raptors, who own the worst record in the league at 2-12.

This will be the first time both teams go head-to-head this season. However, they will each be shorthanded due to injuries.

Here is the full injury report for tonight's Pacers-Raptors game.

11/18 Pacers injury report vs. Raptors

  • Isaiah Jackson (Achilles) - OUT
  • Andrew Nembhard (knee) - OUT
  • Aaron Nesmith (ankle) - OUT
  • Ben Sheppard (oblique) - OUT
  • Myles Turner (calf) - QUESTIONABLE
  • James Wiseman (Achillies) - OUT

Ben Sheppard and Myles Turner are both new additions to the Pacers' injury report. Sheppard suffered an oblique injury during the Pacers' win over the Heat on Sunday night. He is ruled out for tonight's game in Toronto, but there is no word on the severity of the injury or if he will miss more time. The Pacers started Sheppard due to the injuries to Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith, who will each miss tonight's game as well. In Sheppard's place, the Pacers will likely start Jarace Walker.

Turner is a bit of a surprise, especially considering how well he played last night. Regardless, for him to be listed as questionable is potentially a good sign as there is a realistic chance he will play tonight. If not, the Pacers do not have another center on the roster and would likely start Obi Toppin, who has played small-ball center for the team.

11/18 Raptors injury report vs. Pacers

  • Scottie Barnes (orbital fracture) - OUT
  • Bruce Brown (knee) - OUT
  • D.J. Carton (ankle) - OUT
  • Bruno Fernando (ankle) - OUT
  • Kelly Olynyk (back) - OUT
  • Immanuel Quickley (elbow) - OUT
  • Ja'Kobe Walter (shoulder) - OUT

The most notable name on the Raptors' injury report is Scottie Barnes, who will miss his 11th consecutive game due to an orbital fracture. Additionally, old friend Bruce Brown, who the Pacers traded to the Raptors as part of last season's Pascal Siakam trade, has yet to suit up this season due to recovering from knee surgery.

Kelly Olynyk has yet to make his season debut for the Raptors due to a back injury, and Immanuel Quickley is still nursing an elbow injury and will miss tonight's game against the Pacers. Bruno Fernando suffered an ankle injury in the Raptors' overtime loss to the Boston Celtics on Saturday night. Although he returned during the game, he will be out of action tonight.

Furthermore, the Raptors will continue to play without D.J. Carton and Ja'Kobe Walter, who have each played just four games this season.
