Indiana Pacers: 3 goals for the final stretch of the season

Indiana Pacers goal No. 2: Get their team healthy

The Pacers have had issues with injury most of the season. However, they need to get their best players on the court so that they have the best chance of progressing from the play-in tournament to the actual playoffs.

The problem with that is the Pacers are without scoring sensation T.J. Warren is out for the season due to having surgery on his foot. He will not be back in time for the playoffs, hopefully, he will be back in time for next season.

Big man Myles Turner also has a foot injury, being out since mid-April with a partial tear in the plantar plate in his big toe. He is crucial to the way the Pacers want to play defense, leading the league in blocked shots. His timetable for return is unknown.

The shortened season appears to be taking its toll on the Pacers as well. Brogdon has missed time due to a hamstring issue. Jeremy Lamb is having trouble with a knee injury as well. On top of that Jakarr Sampson and Edmond Sumner have both been on the injury report.

The Pacers are going to need all hands on deck given they have the extra games of the play-in tournament as well if they are to progress through the post-season.
