The Indiana Pacers continue their ongoing road trip tonight as they head to North Carolina to take on the Charlotte Hornets. The Pacers beat the Hornets in the Spectrum Center just eight days ago.
That was before the trade deadline, though. Both teams made multiple trades last week, so their rosters look different and are forming new identities. Charlotte just started the search for a new general manager, too. It's a new era for the hosts, and Indiana will try to take advantage.
Here are the official injury reports and starting lineups for the action.
Indiana Pacers injury report
The Pacers will be without James Johnson (illness) and Jalen Smith (lower back spasms) tonight. Tyrese Haliburton was listed as questionable and is available. Isaiah Wong, Kendall Brown, and Jarace Walker are inactive as they are in the G League with the Indiana Mad Ants.
Indiana Pacers starting lineup
