Indiana Pacers vs. Kings Injury Report: Haliburton and Mitchell Set to Return, Sabonis Questionable

Haliburton and Mitchell Expected Back in Lineup

The Indiana Pacers are set to get a boost to their lineup as Tyrese Haliburton and Jalen Smith are expected to return from injury for their game against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. Haliburton has missed the past six games with a sprained left knee, while Smith has been out for the past two games with a non-COVID illness.

Sabonis Remains Questionable

However, the Pacers may be without their leading scorer, Domantas Sabonis, who is questionable to play with a sprained right ankle. Sabonis has been averaging 18.8 points and 12.1 rebounds per game this season. His status will be determined closer to game time.
