Keifer Sykes starting for Pacers Thursday in place of injured Malcolm Brogdon

Indiana Pacers guard Keifer Sykes will start Thursday in the team's game against the Golden State Warriors.

What It Means:

Malcolm Brogdon has been ruled out of action due to a sore right Achilles tendon. His absence means there's an opening in the starting five, and for now, that role will go to Sykes.

In 10 games this season, Sykes is averaging 7.6 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 14.6 FanDuel points.
