Indiana Pacers vs Atlanta Hawks: Final injury report, official starting lineups for January 12
The Indiana Pacers and Atlanta Hawks will face off for the third time of the 2023-24 campaign tonight. Indiana won the first two matchups and has the better record between the two squads this season, but they are missing star guard Tyrese Haliburton.
The Pacers beat Atlanta by 34 last week in Indianapolis. They had a franchise-record 50 assists in that game and dominated all night, but things will likely be different this time around. The Hawks are capable of big offensive outings at any time and the Pacers are finding a new temporary identity without their star.
Here are the official starting lineups and final injury reports for the action.
Indiana Pacers injury report
The Pacers will be without Haliburton, who has a Grade 1 hamstring strain, as well as the recently-ill Jarace Walker. Jalen Smith (back) and Aaron Nesmith (shin) were listed as questionable but are available. Isaiah Wong is inactive due to his two-way contract status.
