How long will Jarace Walker be out?
Evan Sidery of Forbes reported that Pacers' coach Rick Carlisle gave an update on Walker's condition on 'The Fan Morning Show.'
Walker suffered an ankle injury that is said to keep him out "at least the first two games of the NBA Finals" according to Sidery.
Walker wasn't playing huge minutes, but Indiana goes farther into their bench than other playoff teams might choose to, so having healthy/added depth is always a positive.
