Pacers vs. Jazz Injury Report – November 11

The Indiana Pacers face the Utah Jazz for the first time this season on Tuesday, November 11, at 9 p.m. The Pacers, holding a 1–9 record and tied with the Brooklyn Nets for the second-worst mark in the NBA, will seek their second victory of the year on the road.

Utah opened the season 2–1 but has since dropped six of its last seven games, including the previous three. The Jazz enter the matchup as the No. 12 seed in the Western Conference. Indiana swept Utah during the 2024–25 season and has won their last four head-to-head meetings.

Indiana Pacers Injury Update

T.J. McConnell has been sidelined since the preseason due to a hamstring injury. The Pennsylvania native has yet to make his season debut, but he is listed as available and expected to play in Utah.

Indiana began the season thin at point guard, making McConnell’s return a critical boost. His availability should ease the workload on Andrew Nembhard, who recently returned from a shoulder issue, and it may slightly reduce Monte Morris’s immediate role on the roster.

Pascal Siakam (rest) and Aaron Nesmith (forearm), both absent in Sunday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors, are not included on the latest Pacers injury list, suggesting they will be active against the Jazz.

Utah Jazz Status

The Jazz continue to look for stability after a rough stretch of results. No major updates have been reported for Utah’s roster ahead of the Tuesday contest.

“McConnell’s return not only strengthens Indiana’s rotation but brings much-needed relief to their ball-handling duties.”

Author’s Summary

The Pacers aim to rebound from their poor start as McConnell returns, while the struggling Jazz look to halt their losing streak in Tuesday’s matchup.
