The 2-15 Indiana Pacers will go on the road to take on the 13-5 Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. ET. This will be each team's last game before Thanksgiving, and it will also be Indiana's final road game until Dec. 5.
Both teams went head-to-head once already so far: a 129-111 victory for the Raptors on Nov. 15.
While the Pacers are near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, Toronto is moving in the complete opposite direction. The Raptors are currently on an eight-game winning streak and are 2.5 games behind the Detroit Pistons for the No. 1 seed in the conference.
Here is the full injury report for the Pacers and Raptors ahead of Wednesday's game.
11/26 Pacers injury report vs. Raptors
- Johnny Furphy (ankle) - OUT
- Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) - OUT
- Quenton Jackson (hamstring) - OUT
- Kam Jones (back) - OUT
- Aaron Nesmith (knee) - OUT
- Obi Toppin (foot) - OUT
There are no changes to the Pacers' injury report, but head coach Rick Carlisle did provide some notable injury updates (h/t Tony East of Forbes).
On Monday, Carlisle revealed that Johnny Furphy, who has been out since Nov. 3 due to an ankle injury, is "getting better" and could return in a couple of weeks.
Furthermore, Carlisle also said that rookie guard Kam Jones is doing better and will begin ramping up before his return, which is likely to start in the G League. Jones has not played at all this season due to a back injury.
Like Furphy, Quenton Jackson has been out of action since Nov. 3 with a hamstring injury. Carlisle says he will likely return within a couple of weeks as well, but he is not sure when. Before going down, the California native was playing solid basketball, averaging 11.8 points on 54.1% shooting from the field and 50% from deep, 3.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1 steal in five games.
11/26 Raptors injury report vs. Pacers
- RJ Barrett (knee) - OUT
The only name on Toronto's injury report is RJ Barrett, who missed the team's victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday due to a knee sprain. Barrett will miss the Raptors' game against Indiana as well and is expected to be out for at least a week (h/t Marc Stein of The Stein Line).
In 17 games this season, the Canadian native is averaging 19.4 points on 50.6% shooting from the field, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists.
