One thing that New York Knicks superfan Ben Stiller will be keeping an eye on as his favorite NBA team plays the Indiana Pacers again is the injury report.

The Knicks beat the Pacers on Friday, March 13, 2026, but the lineup may be different this time. The Pacers are getting healthy, and Stiller is aware of it.

He posted a GIF of Luke Skywalker in a bacta tank in the fifth Star Wars film, The Empire Strikes Back, with the caption, “The Pacers starters are beginning to emerge from their hyperbaric chambers since the last Knicks game….”

Unfortunately, the Pacers have had to deal with a long list of injuries this season. Several players were questionable for their last game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

However, their fortunes could turn just in time for the Pacers’ latest game against the Knicks. The latest injury report shows that players like Micah Potter, Obi Toppin, Ben Shepard, Quenton Jackson, TJ McConnell, Andrew Nembhard, Ivica Zubac and Aaron Nesmith are questionable for the game due to their various injuries.

However, it is doubtful that Pascal Siakam will be able to play. He is currently struggling with a right knee sprain and will need more time to recover.

As for the Knicks, they have very few players on the injury report. However, one of them is guard Jalen Brunson, the driving force of the offense, who is questionable for the game. However, Mitchell Robinson is doubtful. Miles McBride is still out after undergoing surgery for a core muscle injury.

Currently, the Pacers have the worst record in the NBA at 15-53. Still, the game is important for the Knicks, who currently sit in third place in the Eastern Conference. They are just five games behind the Detroit Pistons (48-19). The Boston Celtics are among them with a record of 45–23.
