Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks Injury Report

Isaiah Jackson, who has remained out since November due to a torn Achilles, hasn't seen a change in his status and will remain out from the Pacers' squad for tonight's game.

New York Knicks on the other hand have a clean injury list. Therefore, no player from the Knicks' squad is facing any injury concerns, and all players are available for selection.

With a 2-0 lead already in the bag, the pressure is on the Knicks to script a return. If the Pacers go on to win tonight as well, then it should be noted that no team has ever been able to overturn the tie in the conference finals after going 0-3 down.
