James Wiseman suffers non-contact leg injury
Center James Wiseman, operating in the second unit with usual backup Isaiah Jackson out with a groin strain, was hobbled by a non-contact leg injury. The Pacers quickly ruled Wiseman out with a calf injury. He had to be helped off the floor, and shortly after he went to the locker room. He walked on his own power but did so gingerly.
