Indiana has been subjected to voodoo incantations since the start of the NBA season. A new needle was stuck in the doll and it was Domantas Sabonis who fell to the ground. Pistons side, new galleys with Killian Hayes and for New Orleans, it’s downright their franchise player Zion Williamson Brandon Ingram who got injured.
Domantas Sabonis
The Pacers have won two games in a row: Wow! On the other hand, during the end of the game against the Lakers on Wednesday night, they lost their best player. As a reminder, Domantas Sabonis jumped up to grab a rebound and landed on the foot of Russell Westbrook. The ankle spun and we now know that the Lithuanian’s injury is more serious than it looked. It must be said that the interior of the Pacers did not want to come out on the spot, he wanted to support his team until the end of the effort to win against Los Angeles. We appreciate the commitment but that must not have helped his sprain this story. As a result, he will be absent for several games according to his coach Rick Carlisle. We recall that Indiana is still deprived of Myles Turner, TJ Warren and TJ McConnell. And on Thursday night, against the Warriors, the team also managed to win without Caris LeVert and Malcom Brogdon, respectively for calf and Achilles tendon pain. It’s too much…
Sabonis will miss at least a few games with a left ankle sprain, Rick Carlisle says.
Before tonight, he has only missed one game this season.

Killian Hayes
In a season where the Pistons point guard can’t really assert himself on the pitch, he doesn’t need a new injury to bother him. Against Golden State on Tuesday night, he was hit in the same hip that had sidelined him for several months during his rookie campaign, and did not play in the second half. We know that he felt pain, without really having more information. Let’s hope it’s just a small alert without gravity or consequence. FYI, Killian Hayes is rated questionable for this Friday night’s game against the Jazz, which is rather reassuring.
Dwane Casey said Killian Hayes had his hip tighten up on him. Doesn’t know the severity yet of the injury. Killian was limited to just 9 minutes tonight. #Pistons

Brandon Ingram
In New Orleans, we already have the Zion file to manage in addition to an ugly 13th place in the Western Conference. Misfortunes never come alone, it was Brandon Ingram who sprained his ankle during Thursday night’s game against the Knicks. With 15 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds in three quarters, the former Laker played well against New York. He helped the Pels get a head start before spending his entire fourth quarter on the bench. It was Willie Green, his coach, who informed the media that Ingram had been unable to play for the last 12 minutes because of his ankle. It’s bad news for the franchise but the injury doesn’t look very serious. a priori, since the team has not yet planned to do an MRI.
Brandon Ingram missed the 4th quarter against the Knicks with a sprained right ankle.
Sources told ESPN there are no plans to do an MRI at the moment and the Pels will see how his ankle feels when they get home before taking any further steps. https://t.co/3SY3rpVwSS

Three injuries that currently have no major impact since the Pels, Pistons and Pacers are stagnating in the depths of the NBA rankings. And normally, nothing too serious so we imagine that with a little magic kiss, our three guys should be back on the court very soon.
