The Indiana Pacers are 1-9 and are tied with the Brooklyn Nets for the second-worst record in the NBA. They will have an opportunity to secure their second win of the season on the road on Tuesday night at 9 p.m. ET against the 3-7 Utah Jazz.
Utah began the season 2-1, but it has greatly struggled since, losing six of its last seven games and each of its last three. The Jazz currently stand as the No. 12 seed in the Western Conference.
The Pacers swept the Jazz in their season series in 2024-25, and they have won each of their last four matchups.
Here is the full injury report for the Pacers and Jazz ahead of Tuesday’s game.
11/11 Pacers injury report vs. Jazz
- Johnny Furphy (ankle) – OUT
- Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) – OUT
- Quenton Jackson (hamstring) – OUT
- Kam Jones (back) – OUT
- Bennedict Mathurin (toe) – OUT
- T.J. McConnell (hamstring) – AVAILABLE
- Taelon Peter (groin) – AVAILABLE
- Obi Toppin (foot) – OUT
T.J. McConnell has been out of action since suffering a hamstring injury in preseason. The Pennsylvania native has yet to make his season debut, but that is expected to change in Utah as he is available for the Pacers.
Indiana was already struggling with their point guard depth entering the season, so being without McConnell has been tough for them. The Arizona alum being able to suit up will take a lot of pressure off Andrew Nembhard, who recently returned from a shoulder injury, and it will likely decrease Monte Morris’ immediate role with the team.
Pascal Siakam (rest) and Aaron Nesmith (forearm), who each missed Indiana’s loss to the Golden State Warriors on Sunday, are also not on Indiana’s injury report, indicating that they should be good to go on Tuesday night.
Taelon Peter is also on Indiana’s injury report for the third straight game due to right groin soreness. He was listed as questionable, but he has since been upgraded and will suit up. The rookie guard was available in each of the Pacers’ last two games despite being on the injury report, though he logged just a total of six minutes and recorded just one rebound and an assist against the Golden State Warriors.
11/11 Jazz injury report vs. Pacers
- Kyle Anderson (back) – OUT
- Taylor Hendricks (hamstring) – OUT
- Walker Kessler (shoulder) – OUT
- Kevin Love (rest) – OUT
- Georges Niang (foot) – OUT
- Oscar Tshiebwe (G League) – OUT
- John Tonje (G League) – OUT
Veteran forward Kyle Anderson missed Utah’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday due to a back injury. He will also be out against the Pacers.
Third-year forward Taylor Hendricks was a late addition to the Jazz’ injury report on Monday, and he missed his first game of the season due to a sore hamstring. The Florida native is out on Tuesday night as well.
Earlier in November, Walker Kessler underwent shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder that will sideline him for the rest of the season.
Long-time NBA big man Kevin Love is in the midst of his first season in Utah. However, he is not playing much of a role as he is averaging just 4.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. After playing each of the Jazz’ last five games, the team will hold him out against Indiana for resting purposes.
Former Pacer Georges Niang has yet to make his debut for the Jazz after they acquired him from the Boston Celtics in the offseason. He does not have a concrete timetable for his return, and he will be out on Tuesday.
The Jazz will also be without John Tonje and Oscar Tshiebwe, another former Pacer, as they are each on G League assignments.
