Pascal Siakam Ruled Out for Third Consecutive Game

Pascal Siakam will miss his third straight game Friday against the Knicks due to a right knee sprain. The Pacers continue to exercise caution with his recovery, and his next opportunity to return is Sunday against the Bucks. In his absence, Kobe Brown is expected to remain in the starting lineup, with Jarace Walker and Micah Potter also filling extended roles in the frontcourt rotation.
