Indiana Pacers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Injury Report
Indiana Pacers
| Players | Injury | Status |
| Myles Turner | Finger | GTD |
| Bennedict Mathurin | Shoulder | OFS |
The Indiana Pacers have a relatively healthy lineup going into tomorrow night’s game. The only significant missing piece is starter Bennedict Mathurin. He averages 14.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists. Myles Turner is also a starter for the Pacers, but since he is only questionable, there is a chance he will play tomorrow.
Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton has been struggling since the All-Star break. His 3-point shooting has gotten better, but he is still having off games. Thankfully, his teammates are healthy and help keep the team afloat.
Updates:
Oklahoma City Thunder
| Players | Injury | Status |
| Jalen Williams | Ankle | GTD |
| Shai Gilgeous-Alexander | Quadriceps | Out |
The Oklahoma City Thunder are coming off of a loss against the Boston Celtics. A key cause of this loss was due to the absence of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams. With Gilgeous-Alexander definitely out again, the Thunder could have a problem on their hands.
If the Thunder want to get the win tomorrow night against Indiana, Chet Holmgren will need to have a better game. In his last game against Boston, he only scored 11 points. His team needs him to provide more in that department, or they could face another loss.

Indiana Pacers on Cusp of Playoffs Spot
The Indiana Pacers are currently sitting in seventh place. They are just sitting below the Miami Heat, which has a record of 42-33. If the Heat loses to the Philadelphia 76ers and the Pacers beat the Thunder, the Pacers will jump into 6th. This would put the Pacers in the playoffs instead of in the playoffs.
The Pacers haven’t made the playoffs since 2020. They also have not won a single round in the playoffs since 2014. This season, Indiana has a very strong roster that has done very well. Getting into the playoffs without dealing with the play-in will be helpful in search of a Finals run for Indiana.
