Jalen Smith (knee) uncertain for Pacers Friday
Indiana Pacers center Jalen Smith (knee) is questionable for Friday versus the Detroit Pistons.
What It Means:
Smith started in place of Myles Turner (back) last game, but now they are both questionable for Friday. Isaiah Jackson, Daniel Theis, James Johnson, and Oshae Brissett will be able to soak up more minutes in the frontcourt if Smith and Turner are both inactive.
numberFire's models project Smith for 27.8 minutes and 30.9 FanDuel points on Friday if Turner remains out.
