The Pacers star took a shot to his rehabbed right leg on Thursday night forcing him to leave the game early.
The Pacers avoided disaster by holding on to beat the Pelicans on Thursday night. By the time the game started and Jrue Holiday was a late scratch, the Pelicans trotted out a worse team than the Sixers team the Pacers beat on Monday.
The Pacers weren't able to put away the 'Cans until closing time but wins of any variety are all that matter at this point in the season and more importantly the playoff race.
