Pacers veteran point guard T.J. McConnell sprained his right ankle in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Clippers and did not return. McConnell scored 13 points on 5 of 5 shooting. He entered the game averaging 9.

The Bucks will be without Bobby Portis, who is serving a 25-game suspension, but Indiana can't take its foot off the gas and hope the damage is already done. On Sunday evening, the Pacers will host the Los Angeles Clippers, who are just one game above the dreaded Play-In Tournament.

The Pacers are in fourth place in the Eastern Conference and are coming off a victory. The Clippers are in sixth place in the Western Conference and are coming off a loss. These teams met about two weeks ago in Los Angeles.
