The 2025-26 NBA season has gone completely differently for the Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors to this point.
While Indiana is 1-11 and is on a six-game losing streak, the Raptors are 7-5 and have won six of their last seven games. Toronto also owns the No. 7 seed in the East.
The Raptors won their season series against the Pacers last season, 2-1. So they will look to continue their winning ways as they head to Indiana in their first battle of the regular season at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday.
Here is the full injury report for the Pacers and Raptors ahead of Saturday's game.
11/15 Pacers injury report vs. Raptors
- Johnny Furphy (ankle) - OUT
- Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) - OUT
- Quenton Jackson (hamstring) - OUT
- Kam Jones (back) - OUT
- Bennedict Mathurin (toe) - OUT
- Aaron Nesmith (knee) - OUT
- Obi Toppin (foot) - OUT
Aaron Nesmith suffered a knee injury during the Pacers' loss to the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. The Vanderbilt alum has officially been diagnosed with a knee sprain, and he will miss Saturday's game against Toronto.
Before the game, head coach Rick Carlisle said that Nesmith will likely be out of action for four weeks due to the injury, according to Dustin Dopirak of the Indianapolis Star.
Rick Carlisle says he expects Aaron Nesmith to be out four weeks. Said it's possible he returns earlier but that seems the most likely scenario, but says it's great news that it's not something worse.

In Nesmith's absence, the Pacers will likely continue to rely more heavily on players like Ben Sheppard and Jarace Walker.

Chucky Hepburn, A.J. Lawson, and Alijah Martin, who are each on a two-way contract, are all out for Toronto as they are on a G League assignment. Additionally, second-year power forward Jonathan Mogbo is also on a G League assignment and will be out against the Pacers.
The Raptors drafted Collin Murray-Boyles with the ninth overall pick in this year's draft, and he is beginning to come into his own. In his last five games, he averaged 8.2 points on 51.7% shooting from the field, 5 rebounds, and 1.6 assists while providing good defense. He was listed as questionable against the Pacers due to an illness, but he has since been upgraded and will be available.
