Indiana Paise Reserve Forward Jerece Walker injured her right ankle during the Eastern Conference Final on Saturday night and her availability for the NBA final is uncertain.
Passers coach Rick Carlisley said that Walker was on Baisakhi after the game. The ankle was badly changed when he was defending New York Nix’s Carl-Antony cities during the inauguration of the fourth quarter.
“He is young, so it’s good,” Carlisle said after a win-clining 125–108 of his team. “I did not see a replay, so I don’t know how much it became, how far it was, but when a man goes down and stays down in this way, you are always stopping your breath.”
Indiana faces Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night in Oklahoma City in Game 1 of NBA Final.
The Walker had two points and a rebound in seven minutes before exiting. He remained on the floor as the game continued until it was stopped after scoring another basket from New York. He was eventually helped to remove them from the floor by two trainers.
The 21-year-old walker scored 6.1 points and 3.1 rebounds in 75 regular-season games (five beginnings) this season. He was the first round pick (number 8 overall) in the 2023 draft.
In addition, the backup center Tony Bradley (Hip), who was injured in Game 5, did not take any action.
