"RJ Barret once again has been ruled out for the second game in a row and again it comes one day prior to tipoff. He's being labelled day-to-day as of now after sustaining a right knee sprain in a 119-109 win against the Brooklyn Nets. But with bad news also comes good news as currently the rest of the Raptors are fully healthy so RJ is the lone name on the injury report just like the Cavaliers game."
"The Pacers are a completely different story as the Eastern Conference winners of last season came into the year without their lead man, Tyrese Haliburton, but his absence has put the Pacers in an unimaginable hole of a 2-15 record. This will be the second of four meetings between these two sides, and Toronto came away with a 129-111 win last time out in Indiana. It marks Toronto's last cup game in the group stages, meanwhile the Pacers will have one more after this game."
RJ Barret has been ruled out for a second consecutive game and is listed day-to-day after sustaining a right knee sprain in a 119-109 win against the Brooklyn Nets. The rest of the Raptors are fully healthy, leaving Barrett as the lone name on the injury report. The Pacers sit 2-15 without Tyrese Haliburton, who is out for the season with an Achilles injury. TheScore lists Johnny Furphy, Quenton Jackson, Aaron Nesmith and Obi Toppin among other Pacers; Toppin is reportedly out two months and Nesmith at least three weeks. Toronto won the previous matchup 129-111 in Indiana; this is Toronto's final group-stage cup game.
