That means Gordon and Porter will likely start for the defending champions. Collin Gillespie and Braxton Key are out, too, but are not injured. They are on two-way contracts, which means they have to spend some time in the NBA G League this season.
Indiana Pacers injury report for Jan. 23
The Indiana Pacers have three players suffering from injuries – Tyrese Haliburton, Isaiah Jackson and Andrew Nembhard. All three are listed as questionable, which means they will be game-time decisions.
