On Saturday night, the 1-7 Indiana Pacers begin their four-game road trip against the 6-2 Denver Nuggets at 9 p.m. ET.
While the Pacers are fresh off their 112-103 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, who were winless heading into the game on Wednesday, the Nuggets are winners of three straight. This includes a 129-104 victory against the Golden State Warriors on Friday.
Last season, Indiana and Denver split the season series 1-1. However, before the Pacers' 125-120 victory on Apr. 6, they had lost nine in a row to the Nuggets. On Saturday, they will look to secure another win against the current No. 4 seed in the Western Conference.
Here is the full injury report for Saturday's game between the Pacers and Nuggets.
11/8 Pacers injury report vs. Nuggets
- Johnny Furphy (ankle) - OUT
- Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) - OUT
- Quenton Jackson (hamstring) - OUT
- Kam Jones (back) - OUT
- Bennedict Mathurin (toe) - OUT
- T.J. McConnell (hamstring) - OUT

The only change to Indiana's injury report is the status update on guard Andrew Nembhard. Nembhard suffered a shoulder injury during the Pacers' opening night loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder and has yet to suit up since. However, the team has officially upgraded him to questionable for Saturday's game. And, according to Scott Agness of Fieldhouse Files, the Canadian native "is on track to play" against Denver.
Positive Pacers injury report note: Andrew Nembhard, who’s been out since after opening night, has been upgraded to questionable and is on track to play tonight.

It’s Game 1 of a 4-game trip out west, beginning in Denver.
Newcomer Monte Morris is available and will wear No. 3.
If the Canadian native can go, this would be fantastic news for the Pacers as they continue to deal with injuries in the backcourt. However, if he can't, then they will likely rely on the recently acquired Monte Morris, who is reportedly available against his former team.

The Nuggets have added guard Jamal Murray to the injury report due to calf tightness, and he is also listed as questionable. Murray had a fantastic game on Friday, scoring 23 points on 8-for-12 shooting, while also recording eight assists, three rebounds, two steals, and one block.
Sixth-year Nuggets forward Zeke Nnaji missed three consecutive games for the team due to an ankle injury, but he returned against Golden State and is listed as probable for Saturday's game.
Tamar Bates, DaRon Holmes II, and Curtis Jones are all out for Denver due to G League assignments.
