The Indiana Pacers aren't just shorthanded on Sunday night to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves.
That's an unfair way to characterize it.
The Pacers have almost no one available on their injury report.
This is how it's listed:
- Quenton Jackson - probable, right hamstring strain
- Bennedict Mathurin - out, right great toe sprain
- Taelon Peter - out, right groin strain
- Johnny Furphy - out, sore left foot
- Andrew Nembhard - out, left shoulder strain
- Kam Jones - out, lower back stress reaction
- T.J. McConnell - out, left hamstring strain
- Tyrese Haliburton - out, right Achilles tendon tear
McConnell, Haliburton and Jones have already been out.

The others are absences that greatly deplete the Indiana rotation.
They have two regular starters for Sunday night, Aaron Nesmith and Pascal Siakam.
They've also got their full center rotation with Isaiah Jackson, Jay Huff and James Wiseman.
But at guard, it'll be an adventure.
Ben Sheppard is active, and so is RayJ Dennis. That's really it on the perimeter.
Nesmith and Siakam will probably have to play down, with Toppin probably seeing time at the 3, too.
It'll certainly be an adventure.
