The Toronto Raptors are facing off against the Indiana Pacers with a number of injuries plaguing the roster.
According to Sportsnet reporter Michael Grange, the Raptors will be without Ja'Kobe Walter, Sandro Mamukelashvili, Jakob Poeltl, RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and Garrett Temple for the game against the Pacers.
Sandro (illness) Quickley, Temple (both with backs) Barrett (ankle) and Poeltl back) all out vs Pacers who have won three straight. Not ideal for Raptors who have much improved Clippers at home Friday before five-game road trip. A win in Indy would be good to get.

Quickley and Temple popped up on the injury report with back injuries, joining Poeltl, who has been out for a few weeks with the same ailment. Barrett has also been sidelined for the last couple of games with his ankle sprain but should return within the next couple of days. Meanwhile, Mamukelashvili is sick and is day-to-day.
This is a good opportunity for the Pacers to take advantage of the Raptors while they have a number of players on the sidelines.
Quickley's absence is likely going to give Jamal Shead the opportunity to start at point guard. He will likely go next to Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes, Collin Murray-Boyles, and either A.J. Lawson, Alijah Martin or Gradey Dick.
Tip-off between the Raptors and Pacers is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Fans can watch the game on TSN Sports or stream it on NBA League Pass.
