The Indiana Pacers faced a setback as James Wiseman sustained a left calf injury during their season opener against the Detroit Pistons. The young center, who recently joined the Pacers, had made an immediate impact with six points before the injury occurred in the first quarter.

Head coach Rick Carlisle confirmed Wiseman's injury and mentioned that further testing, including an MRI, is scheduled to assess the damage. The Pacers will need to adjust their center rotation if Wiseman is sidelined for an extended period.
