Indiana Pacers vs Toronto Raptors: Aaron Nesmith is out, final injury report, official starting lineups for February 26
The Indiana Pacers host the Toronto Raptors tonight in a game featuring many reunions. Bruce Brown and Jordan Nwora are returning to Indianapolis for the first time since they were traded for Pascal Siakam, which is the most direct link between the two teams.
On top of that, former San Antonio Spurs teammates Doug McDermott and Jakob Poeltl will face off, as will ex-New York Knicks Obi Toppin and RJ Barrett.
