After besting the Clippers, the Pacers are playing host to a young but talented Orlando Magic squad in game two of their three-game homestand. The Blue & Gold have won six straight games against the Magic dating back to 2019.
Just 0:22 into the game, Pacers rookie Isaiah Jackson sprained his right ankle and headed to the locker room. The injury left Indiana without a true center.
However, rookie Terry Taylor (13 points, six rebounds) and the Pacers have stepped up. The crew finished 26-of-48 (54.2 percent) from the field, including 10-of-19 (52.6 percent) from deep, and take a 67-53 lead into halftime.
