Marcus Smart - SIC score 18

Tyrese Haliburton - SIC score 43

Haliburton was diagnosed with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain and will be re-evaluated in late January. He has avoided a more serious hamstring strain however will miss several games to recover and reduce re-injury risk.

Indiana (22-15) will look to make up for his absence by giving Benedict Mathurin a bigger scoring role and likely giving more playing time to Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell.

Ja Morant - Out for Season

Suffered a subluxation of his right shoulder in practice on Saturday. An MRI confirmed he will undergo season-ending surgery. Our panel of doctors expect Morant to make a full recovery for the 2024-25 season.

Chris Paul - SIC score 20

Paul was diagnosed with a fractured left hand (metacarpal fracture), surgery is scheduled the week commencing Jan 8. Surgery will involve inserting a plate and screws into the hand. Likely to return in 6 weeks (late February).

The Warriors (17-20) will look to replace his production in the second unit with Cory Joseph and the impending return of Draymond Green.

Kawhi Leonard - SIC score 88

 Back at full strength from right knee meniscus surgery he underwent in offseason - team signed him to 3-year extension and are clearly confident in his health going forward.

In 33 games this season, Leonard is averaging 24 points, 6 rebounds and 3.5 assists while shooting 51.8% from the field and 43.2% from 3-point range.
