Who is available for the Pacers tonight, sorted by height. Looks like Isaiah Jackson will start at center with Terry Taylor as a backup. If there’s foul trouble (somewhat likely with Jackson in line for big minutes)… Torrey Craig at center? pic.twitter.com/VYeijV0muF – 6:14 PM
Oshae Brissett (sore right ankle) won’t play tonight vs Clippers.
With Sabonis, Turner and Bitadze also out, Pacers will be on their fifth center. It’ll be Terry Taylor and Isaiah Jackson. – 6:12 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Oshae Brissett is OUT with a sore right ankle. #Pacers – 6:10 PM Indiana Pacers @Pacers

Charlotte’s 2022 1st round pick which is now with Atlanta (via NY) from the Kai Jones trade is top 18 protected.
As of today CHA are 18th in record and would keep their pick. To convey it they would need to finish top 6 in the East while staying above LAC/MIN/LAL record wise. pic.twitter.com/hN2RESEmJK – 5:49 PM

Check that: Serge Ibaka will start for Ivica Zubac (calf). Terance Mann will remain in starting lineup. Sounds like Nic Batum will come off the bench. – 5:35 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Rick Carlisle also said that T.J. McConnell has gotten the pin taken out of his right wrist and it’s a “week’s not days” situation.
T.J. Warren, who’s been out all season (stress fracture in left foot), continues to progress. Played one-on-one with Malcolm Brogdon today. #Pacers – 5:34 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Myles Turner is back on the court shooting. Rick Carlisle said he’s getting more active. Turner’s been out with a stress reaction in his left foot. Still no timetable for his return. #Pacers – 5:33 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Tyronn Lue says that Nicolas Batum is playing, and Ivica Zubac will miss his first game due to injury tonight. Zubac started the month in health and safety protocols and ended last season missing last two games due to MCL sprain. – 5:33 PM Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
“Nico’s playing. Zu’s out.”
Ty says he there’s “definitely” a bet on tap with Luke Kennard over the Super Bowl.
Luke — the Ohio-born Bengals fan — took $100 from Ty for the Chief-Bengals game. – 5:32 PM Tony East @TEastNBA
Nicolas Batum will play tonight, Ty Lue says. – 5:32 PM Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Nic Batum is playing. Ivica Zubac is OUT. – 5:31 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
A flabbergasted Rick Carlisle on backup center with Turner, Sabonis, Bitadze, possibly Brissett out: “Who do you like?!”
(Later says 6’5″ Terry Taylor is next up at backup center behind presumably Isaiah Jackson) – 5:26 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Rick Carlisle says Terry Taylor is the team’s backup center and continues his high praise of him recently. #Pacers – 5:25 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Today is day 10 of Malcolm Brogdon’s 10-day right Achilles rehab, but he’s still out and there’s no timetable for his return, per Rick Carlisle. #Pacers – 5:25 PM Indiana Pacers @Pacers
Oshae Brissett (sore right ankle) is a game-time decision and Goga Bitadze (sore right foot) is out tonight, per head coach Rick Carlisle. – 5:24 PM Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
Rick Carlisle greets “the great Mike Fratello.”
The Czar, of course, has been along for the ride on the Bally broadcasts for the duration of the Clippers’ eight-game road swing, which concludes today. – 5:24 PM Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Rick Carlisle says Goga Bitadze (foot) remains out but that the Pacers got good news and that the injury is a bruise and nothing more significant. Oshae Brissett is a gametime decision but Carlisle isn’t optimistic he will play. – 5:24 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Oshae Brissett is a game-time decision with a sore right ankle. Goga Bitadze is OUT with a sore right foot. It’s a bruise, though, so Rick Carlisle is optimistic about his status. No time-table for his return. #Pacers – 5:23 PM Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Goga Bitadze won’t play tonight due to a sore foot. Fortunately, it’s just a bruise. – 5:23 PM Tony East @TEastNBA
Oshae Brissett (ankle) is a game-time decision tonight. Goga Bitadze (foot) is OUT. Goga’s testing revealed that he’s just got a bruise, which Carlisle called “great news.” – 5:23 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Rick Carlisle not optimistic about Oshae Brissett (gametime decision), and Goga Bitadze is out tonight vs Clippers, in addition to Domas – 5:23 PM Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Rick Carlisle says Malcolm Brogdon has a chance to start practicing with the team “sometime soon” but that there is no timetable. Brogdon is in the 10th day of his initial 10-day timetable to be evaluated. – 5:23 PM Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Carlisle on Malcolm Brogdon (sore right Achilles), who’s now on Day 10 of behind shutdown: “He’s doing well, he continues to progress. He’s playing 1-on-1 and doing a lot of things that are in a controlled environment to build up his leg muscle.”
No timeline to return. – 5:22 PM Tony East @TEastNBA
Malcolm Brogdon, on day 10 of his shutdown due to his Achilles injury, is ramping up activity and has began playing 1-on-1. He could start practicing soon, but no concrete timetable for a return to game action. – 5:22 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Rick Carlisle said he’s not sure how long Domantas Sabonis will be out. Gone at least six days or if he registers two negative PCR tests 24 hours apart. #Pacers – 5:22 PM Los Angeles Clippers @LAClippers
🚨 Career-High Tie 🚨
Luke Kennard had a career-tying 10 rebounds against the Hornets. This was his third career double-double. Justise Winslow had a career-tying of 3 blocks against the Hornets. pic.twitter.com/yASLqKDT8t – 5:13 PM

Pacers star Domantas Sabonis has entered the NBA’s health and safety protocols. – 4:02 PM Tony East @TEastNBA
Domantas Sabonis has entered health and safety protocols, the Pacers say. He’s out tonight. – 3:59 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Domantas Sabonis’ is now OUT for tonight’s game against the #Clippers. He has entered the NBA’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols, per the team’s latest injury/illness report.
Surely going to get some more Isaiah Jackson and Terry Taylor minutes tonight.
📸: by me | #Pacers pic.twitter.com/noEdVQEwpf – 3:58 PM
The Pacers say Domantas Sabonis has entered the league’s health and safety protocols and will miss tonight’s game against the Clippers after a brief but successful comeback from an ankle injury.
More NBA from me: marcstein.substack.com – 3:57 PM Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pacers center Domantas Sabonis has entered healthy and safety protocols and is out tonight vs Clippers. – 3:51 PM Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Pacers list Domantas Sabonis as out due to health and safety protocols. – 3:48 PM Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
For the sickos who like to watch, Monday’s @LockedOnLakers podcast, YouTube version! Among the talking points, 4 of the next 5 games for the Lakers are Blazers (2x), Clippers, Knicks. Crazy to say in January, but these are, not hyperbole, must win.

Last time out, @BJ Boston shot 57.1% from field over the Hornets.

Who’s your #Pelicans Player of the Week for #NBA Week 15? New Orleans had four games (IND, at Phi, DEN, BOS), with only six players appearing in every contest. #PelsPOTWPoll open until pregame begins at 5:30 CT on @BallySportsNO and @ESPNRadioNOLA – 2:16 PM Los Angeles Clippers @LAClippers
Slammin’ it down.

#Pacers injury report: Domantas Sabonis is no longer listed, so he should be good to go against the #Clippers tonight.
Oshae Brissett (sore right ankle) and Goga Bitadze (sore right foot) are both questionable.
All others — Turner, Brogdon, both TJs — remain OUT. – 1:42 PM Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Because of Sunday’s early tip in Charlotte, Clippers get a *bit* more rest in this latest back-to-back. They’re 3-5 this season when playing B2B, with a -4.6 net rating. @nbastuffer ranks their adjusted efficiency on 0 days rest (also 3 games in 4 days) as 22nd in the league. – 1:35 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
And last but not least, a few flicks from Rick Carlisle’s emotional return to Dallas. He was presented with a tribute video before the game, and then #Mavs superstar Luka Doncic proceeded to bully the #Pacers.

Clippers say center Ivica Zubac (sore right calf) is questionable to play tonight in Indiana, as is Nicolas Batum (low back soreness). – 1:21 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Ivica Zubac (sore right calf, shown here) is questionable for tonight at Indiana. Nicolas Batum (back, missed Sunday at Charlotte) is also questionable.
Paul George (elbow), Kawhi Leonard (knee) Jason Preston (foot), Keon Johnson (G League) remain out.
5th game in 7 days. pic.twitter.com/gQIUwLEKg3 – 1:20 PM
Ivica Zubac (sore right calf) has been added to the Clippers’ injury report as questionable to play tonight. Nic Batum (lower back) is also questionable. – 1:18 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Lol during this game, you had some fans cheering for their team to win and others hoping #OKC or the #Pacers lose for better draft position. Ultimately, Indiana got the dub. (Oh, and Rumble the Bison made that by the way!)

Scenes from NOLA. Duane Washington Jr. set the #Pacers’ rookie record with seven 3s, but it wasn’t enough to knock off the #Pelicans. Also, another game, another Isaiah Jackson bang out! My full 📸 gallery here —> https://t.co/L2B65FDbQn pic.twitter.com/wSu6ew7lrt – 1:01 PM
