The Indiana Pacers are set to welcome rookie wing Johnny Furphy back for the regular season opener, while reserve center Isaiah Jackson's status remains uncertain due to a groin injury.
Head coach Rick Carlisle updated the media, stating Jackson is day-to-day after averaging 3.0 points and 2.5 rebounds in the preseason. If Jackson cannot play, James Wiseman is expected to step in as a center option.
Furphy, who missed preseason due to ankle injuries, is ready for the season but may not be included in the rotation.
