ImpactWith Myles Turner (calf) sidelined and backup big men James Wiseman (Achilles) and Isaiah Jackson (Achilles) done for the year, Freeman will make his first career start Monday. Freeman, the Pacers' second-round selection in the 2024 NBA Draft, has seen sparse playing time this season, but he has a chance to earn a bigger spot in the rotation with a solid outing Monday.

ImpactWith Ben Sheppard (oblique) out, Bennedict Mathurin will move to the two-guard and Walker will pick up his first career start.

Moses Brown - Catches on with IndianaThe Pacers are signing Brown to an NBA contract Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

ImpactBrown has been playing in the G League with the Westchester Knicks, where he has averaged 18.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.5 steals over 27.3 minutes per game across four outings. The Pacers lost backup big men James Wiseman and Isaiah Jackson to torn Achilles injuries, and with no other centers currently on the 15-man roster outside Myles Turner (calf), Brown has an opportunity to come in and contribute immediately in a reserve role. Brown appeared in 22 regular-season games (including five starts) for the Trail Blazers during the 2023-24 campaign and averaged 3.4 points and 3.9 rebounds over 9.1 minutes per contest.

Myles Turner - Won't play vs. TorontoTurner (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

ImpactTurner is coming off a season-high 34-point outing across 40 minutes during Sunday's 119-110 win over the Heat. Given Turner's heavy usage, the Pacers will sit the veteran center for the second leg of a back-to-back Monday, though he should be available to play Wednesday against the Rockets. Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker are the top candidates to see increased minutes with Turner sidelined.
