Pacers vs. Jazz Injury Report — November 11
The Indiana Pacers will face the Utah Jazz for the first time this season on Tuesday, November 11, at 9 p.m. in Salt Lake City. Indiana enters the matchup with a 1–9 record, tied with the Brooklyn Nets for the league’s second-worst mark. Utah started 2–1 but has since dropped six of its last seven contests, including three straight losses, and currently sits 12th in the Western Conference.
Series and Recent History
Indiana swept Utah in their 2024–25 season series and has taken each of the last four meetings between the teams.
Injury Updates
- T.J. McConnell: The guard has been sidelined since the preseason due to a hamstring injury but is now available to play. His return should ease the workload on Andrew Nembhard, who recently came back from a shoulder issue, and could limit Monte Morris’ minutes.
- Pascal Siakam and Aaron Nesmith: Both players missed Sunday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors — Siakam for rest and Nesmith with a forearm concern. Neither is listed on the current injury report, suggesting both will be active against Utah.
“The Arizona alum being able to suit up will take a lot of pressure off Andrew Nembhard,” the report noted, highlighting McConnell’s impact on the Pacers' rotation.
Looking Ahead
The Pacers have an opportunity to claim their second win of the season and build momentum after a difficult start, while the Jazz will aim to snap their losing streak and regain early-season form.
