Pacers Missing Four Key Players Again Vs. Suns

The Indiana Pacers will be missing C.J. Miles, David West, George Hill, and C.J. Watson tonight vs. the Phoenix Suns.

Indiana has been one of the most injury plagued teams that the NBA has seen in quite some time, and that won’t change tonight against the Phoenix Suns. The Pacers will be without C.J. Miles, David West, George Hill, and C.J. Watson once again tonight, and those four have become a regular on the injury report throughout the week.

Rodney Stuckey appears to be good to go for the Pacers, which is a plus following his solid performance against the Charlotte Hornets.

The Pacers desperately need to get West back out on the floor, as he would make things so much easier for them. He would provide them with a more consistent scoring threat than they have had all season long, and his leadership skills would be a huge plus as well. West appears to be on his way towards recovery, and could get back on the court in the near future.

As far as Hill and Watson are concerned, they are a bit further out. Hill is expected to be out until some point in December, and they’re not expecting that time period to be early December. Watson won’t be back for a couple weeks at least, and it will likely be even longer than that.

Miles is day-to-day at this point in time with a calf strain, but the Pacers’ fans have seen how long that can take to return from last year with Danny Granger. He has missed quite a few games this year with different issues, and the fan base is beginning to get very frustrated with him. When he has been on the court, he has played poorly to say the very least.

All of that being said, the Pacers are still very injured but are on the mend. They have a very respectable 5-7 record despite all of the injury concerns, and of course superstar forward Paul George cannot be forgotten. Frank Vogel has done an amazing job with this team, and they are still playing a level that would get them the playoffs.
