4/8 Pacers injury report vs. Wizards
- RayJ Dennis (G League) – QUESTIONABLE
- Enrique Freeman (G League) – QUESTIONABLE
- Isaiah Jackson (Achilles) – OUT
- Quenton Jackson (G League) – DOUBTFUL
- Ben Sheppard (toe) – OUT
- Pascal Siakam (elbow) – AVAILABLE
Pacers All-Star Pascal Siakam missed the team’s victory over the Denver Nuggets on Sunday due to an elbow injury. Siakam once again appears on the Pacers’ injury report, though he is now listed as available.

4/8 Wizards injury report vs. Pacers
- Saddiq Bey (knee) – OUT
- Malcolm Brogdon (ankle) – OUT
- Bilal Coulibaly (hamstring) – OUT
- Anthony Gill (hamstring) – AVAILABLE
- Richaun Holmes (shoulder) – OUT
- Corey Kispert (thumb) – OUT
- Khris Middleton (knee) – OUT
- Tristan Vukcevic (knee) – OUT
Saddiq Bey suffered a torn ACL while with the Atlanta Hawks last season and has yet to make his Wizards debut this year. Bey is not officially ruled out for the rest of the season, but given that there is less than a week remaining, it is fair to assume he will not suit up this year. Regardless, he is officially out against Indiana.
Former Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon has not suited up for Washington since before the All-Star break due to an ankle injury. He has already been ruled out against his former team.
Second-year forward Bilal Coulibaly suffered a season-ending hamstring injury in March. Additionally, Corey Kispert underwent thumb surgery in March and will also miss the rest of the season.
Anthony Gill has popped up on Washington’s injury report with a hamstring injury, though he has since been upgraded and is available.
Tristan Vukcevic was initially listed as questionable due to a knee injury, but he is now listed as out. Additionally, Wizards big man Richaun Holmes, who has missed each of the team’s last two games, remains on the injury report due to a shoulder injury and will also be out against the Pacers.
Khris Middleton, who the Wizards acquired from the Milwaukee Bucks at the trade deadline, will not suit up due to a knee injury. Middleton has not played in the month of April, with his last game being against the Pacers on March 27.
