Monta Ellis injures ankle as Pacers fall to Knicks
Indiana Pacers guard Monta Ellis picked up 6 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 turnovers in 24 minutes of action against the New York Knicks on Monday before being forced out of the game with an ankle injury.
What It Means:
There's no word yet on the severity of the injury, and we should have a better idea of his availability for the Pacers' next game (Thursday against the Minnesota Timberwolves) after Tuesday's practice. Look for C.J. Miles -- who started at shooting guard last night -- to pick up some extra minutes if Ellis misses any more time.
Ellis has had a rough season, and his -3.4 nERD is the lowest mark among Pacers players and the 12th-lowest mark in the NBA. He is also sporting a career-worst player efficiency rating (9.7) and turnover rate (19.7 percent).
