Though the Indiana Pacers have managed to turn injuries into a fun and exciting product in recent games, they caught up with them tonight, resulting in an incredibly disappointing late game loss to the Orlando Magic. The Pacers were once again without Oshae Brissett and Goga Bitadze, giving Isaiah Jackson his second start of the season.
Twenty-two second after the tip, however, Jackson was limping off the floor and to the locker room after suffering a sprained ankle on a rebound attempt. Though he was initially considered questionable to return, he was downgraded to out after the half.
