Two days after losing to the Los Angeles Lakers, 137-130, the Indiana Pacers will host the other Los Angeles team on Friday night at 7 p.m. ET when they take on the Clippers. This will be the second matchup between the two teams after their blockbuster Ivica Zubac-Bennedict Mathurin trade ahead of this year's deadline, with the Clippers taking the first game by a score of 130-107 on Mar. 4.
The Pacers have won just one game since the All-Star break and own the worst record in the NBA. Los Angeles, however, has won three games in a row and currently owns the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference.
Here is the full injury report for the Pacers and Clippers ahead of Friday night's game.
3/27 Pacers injury report vs. Clippers
- Johnny Furphy (right ACL tear) - OUT
- Tyrese Haliburton (right Achilles tear) - OUT

- Jalen Slawson (two-way) - DOUBTFUL
- Obi Toppin (low back soreness) - QUESTIONABLE
- Ivica Zubac (rib fracture) - OUT
The Pacers have listed Aaron Nesmith as probable against the Clippers due to low back soreness. Nesmith has appeared in each of Indiana's last seven games and has only missed two games since the start of the month.
Additionally, the Pacers have listed Obi Toppin, who is also dealing with low back soreness, as questionable for Friday's game. The Dayton alum has missed just two games since returning from his foot injury on Feb. 26.
3/27 Clippers injury report vs. Pacers
- Bradley Beal (left hip fracture) - OUT
- Jordan Miller (back soreness) - AVAILABLE
- Yanic Konan Niederhauser (right Lisfranc ligament tear) - OUT
In November, the Clippers announced that Bradley Beal would undergo surgery on his left hip. He has not and will not suit up for the rest of the season.
Third-year forward Jordan Miller, who is in the midst of a career year (9.8 PPG - 3.1 RPG - 2.2 APG - 52.4 FG%), was listed as questionable for Friday's game, but he has since been upgraded to available. The California native missed Los Angeles' victory against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, which was his first missed game of the calendar year.
Clippers rookie big man Yanic Konan Niederhauser suffered a right foot injury during the team's win against the Pacers earlier this season. His injury will require surgery, and he is expected to miss the rest of the season.
