Jarace Walker

IND Power Forward #5

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said Jarace Walker (ankle) is unlikely to contribute in the NBA Finals.

Injured during Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Walker has not appeared in a game since. According to Carlisle, the second-year forward is no longer using crutches but is still walking with a slight limp. Due to Indiana’s depth, Walker’s absence has not significantly impacted the team’s approach to this series. Obi Toppin was already the primary backup to Pascal Siakam, so his role remains unchanged.
Myles Turner

IND Center #33

Myles Turner shot 3-of-10 from the field and 6-of-6 from the foul line in Friday’s Game 4 loss to the Thunder, scoring 12 points with two rebounds and two assists.

While the illness that limited Turner during Thursday’s practice did not land him on the pregame injury report, it’s fair to wonder if the center was still feeling the effects. He missed all six of his three-point attempts in Game 4 and also did not record any steals or blocked shots. By comparison, Turner blocked five shots in Indiana’s Game 3 victory on Wednesday. The Pacers don’t need Turner to be a superstar, but they do need him to be more impactful than he was on Friday. He’ll look to rebound in Game 5 on Monday.
Obi Toppin

IND Power Forward #1

Obi Toppin tallied 17 points (7-of-12 FGs, 1-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Friday’s Game 4 loss to the Thunder.

Sandwiched around subpar offensive performances in Games 2 and 3, Toppin was effective in Games 1 and 4. Friday was the second time this series he’s scored 17 points, and the high-flying forward recorded a complete stat line. The lone negative for Toppin was his foul shooting, as he was just 1-of-4 from the stripe. Add in some key missed free throws from Bennedict Mathurin and Oklahoma City’s superior play in crunch time, and the Pacers likely feel that they let Game 4 get away. Toppin and the Pacers will look to bounce back when they visit Oklahoma City for Game 5 on Monday.
Pascal Siakam

IND Power Forward #43

Pascal Siakam accumulated 20 points (6-of-15 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, five steals, one block and two three-pointers in Friday’s Game 4 loss to the Thunder.

Siakam started Game 4 extremely well, tallying 10 points and four steals in the first quarter. However, he was 1-of-6 from the field in the second half, only attempting one shot in the fourth quarter. Whether that’s on Siakam for not being aggressive enough to get the ball, or on the Pacers for not getting him the ball more often, that cannot happen. Similar to Tyrese Haliburton’s assist-to-turnover ratio, Siakam’s offensive production has been far better in wins than in losses during the NBA Finals. With two of the final three games on the road, the Pacers will need a better Siakam if they’re to win the franchise’s first NBA title. Game 5 is on Monday.
Tyrese Haliburton

IND Point Guard #0

Tyrese Haliburton amassed 18 points (7-of-15 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Friday’s Game 4 loss to the Thunder.

While Haliburton had a good night inside the arc in Game 4, making six of his eight attempts, he was 1-of-7 from deep. Add in five turnovers, and this performance was far from the norm for the Pacers’ point guard. Haliburton’s assist-to-turnover ratio has been an excellent indicator of how the games have gone. In Indiana’s two victories, he’s tallied 17 assists and seven turnovers. In the two defeats, 13 assists and 10 turnovers. Obviously, the Pacers need Haliburton to be at his best if they’re to win the franchise’s first NBA title. Game 5 is on Monday, with the series tied at two games apiece.
Myles Turner

IND Center #33

Myles Turner (illness) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Game 4 against the Thunder on Friday.

Head coach Rick Carlisle said that Turner had been battling an illness that would potentially prevent him from practicing on Thursday, but it won’t keep him from playing on Friday. He may not be at full strength, but he’ll be out there as Indiana looks to take a 3-1 lead in the series.
Myles Turner

IND Center #33

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle told reporters Myles Turner is dealing with an illness and may not practice on Thursday.

Turner finished the Pacers’ win in Game 3 with nine points, two rebounds, one assist and five blocks. His most important block came late in the game on a Chet Holmgren three-point attempt. Despite dealing with an illness and potentially missing practice Thursday, Turner isn’t likely to miss Game 4 on Friday.
Pascal Siakam

IND Power Forward #43

Pascal Siakam had 21 points (8-of-14 FGs), six rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block against the Thunder in Game 3 on Wednesday.

The Pacers received truly great performances in Game 3 from Bennedict Mathurin, Tyrese Haliburton and Siakam. The 31-year-old power forward has been a rock for the Pacers this postseason bringing with him previous NBA Finals experience from his time in Toronto. Siakam’s excellent Game 3 included 21 points on 14 shots and locking up Shai Gilgeous-Alexander defensively on a crucial possession with under two minutes remaining. The Eastern Conference finals MVP played as big of a role as anyone in the Pacers taking a 2-1 series lead.
Tyrese Haliburton

IND Point Guard #0

Tyrese Haliburton had 22 points (9-of-17 FGs), nine rebounds, 11 assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers against the Thunder in Game 3 on Wednesday.

Haliburton became the fifth player in NBA Finals history to have at least 20 points, at least 10 assists and zero free throw attempts. The 25-year-old point guard also became the first player in NBA history with nine games of at least 10 assists and two made three-pointers in a single playoff run. Haliburton had only six and three points in the first halves of the first two games of this series, but was excellent in the first half of Game 3 with 12 points and seven assists. His play is a big reason the Pacers find themselves just two wins away from winning the NBA Finals.
Bennedict Mathurin

IND Small Forward #00

Bennedict Mathurin had 27 points (9-of-12 FGs), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two three-pointers in the Pacers’ 116-107 victory over the Thunder in Game 3 on Wednesday.

The Pacers’ bench outscored the Thunder’s 30-11 in the first half of Game 3, which Indiana led by four at halftime, and Mathurin was a big part of that. The 22-year-old small forward’s 27 points were the third most off the bench in NBA Finals history. Mathurin joined Jason Terry and Manu Ginobili as the only bench players to have at least 25 points in an NBA Finals game in the last 25 years. Even more impressive was that Mathurin played only 22 minutes and took just 12 shots. His +16 in his time on the court was a game-high. It was an exceptional effort from the Pacers’ No. 6 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft.
