The Indiana Pacers avoided a 3-0 series deficit against the New York Knicks, grinding their way to a 111-106 victory at home in Game 3 on Friday. However, the win may have come at a price for the Pacers.
Star guard Tyrese Haliburton and forward Aaron Nesmith both got banged up and are now questionable to play Sunday, via the NBA injury report. Haliburton has low back spasms, a sacral contusion, and a right ankle sprain. Meanwhile, Nesmith is dealing with right shoulder soreness.
With the Knicks also missing OG Anunoby, both teams look to be significantly weakened ahead of Game 4. This is the nature of the NBA Playoffs, as the entire league is dealing with injuries at this point in the season.
Will Haliburton and Nesmith play? If they do, how effective will they be?
