Knicks vs Pacers injury report for April 5: Is RJ Barrett playing tonight?

The New York Knicks will kick off their final road trip of the season in Indiana against the Pacers on Wednesday. It’ll be the first of two times that New York will face Indiana in the Knicks’ final three games of the regular season.

While New York clinched a playoff berth with Sunday’s win, Indiana was eliminated with a loss on Sunday to Cleveland. After starting the season out hot, the Pacers came crashing back down to reality as one of the bottom teams in the conference.

Rick Carlisle was adamant that Indiana will continue to compete until the end of the regular season, but the team has been without a few of its top players. Tyrese Haliburton, Myles Turner, and Chris Duarte could all be sidelined against the Knicks.

New York will continue to be without Julius Randle for the remainder of the regular season, but the Knicks were also without RJ Barrett in Sunday’s win because of an illness.
