Indiana Pacers vs Denver Nuggets: Tyrese Haliburton is out, final injury report, official starting lineups for January 23
The Indiana Pacers host the Denver Nuggets tonight as the reigning champs make their only trip to Indiana of the 2023-24 season. Denver is rolling and has won four of their last five games, and former MVP center Nikola Jokic scored 42 points on Sunday. They'll be a tough team to beat.
Adding to that difficulty is that the Pacers will be without star guard Tyrese Haliburton all week. He's managing a left hamstring injury and won't be ready for this one. Denver beat Indiana last Sunday, so the shorthanded Pacers will try to avenge that loss without their star.
Here are the official starting lineups and injury reports for the action.
Indiana Pacers injury report
The Pacers will be without Haliburton (hamstring) tonight. He was listed as questionable to play. So were Andrew Nembhard and Isaiah Jackson — but they are both available. Isaiah Wong is inactive.
Indiana Pacers starting lineup
