Philadelphia 76ers vs Indiana Pacers injury report: Injured and questionable players, head-to-head records, team stats, and more (January 19, 2026)

The Indiana Pacers host the Philadelphia 76ers on January 19, 2026. Tonight's game depends largely on players who are available to play and how the teams make use of them. Both Pacers and 76ers are dealing with injuries but the impact is heavier on Indiana. Philadelphia waits on late decisions involving its top players.What could have been an up-tempo game now looks slower and more controlled. Lineups will be adjusted, roles will expand, and the outcome may come down to which team handles those changes better.Indiana Pacers’ injury list removes key parts of its offense. Tyrese Haliburton is out with a right Achilles tendon tear, leaving the Pacers without their primary ball-handler and organizer. His absence changes how Indiana runs its offense and limits its ability to push the pace.Bennedict Mathurin will not play due to a right thumb sprain, cutting into the team’s perimeter scoring. Obi Toppin is also out with a right foot stress fracture, reducing frontcourt depth.Kam Jones, Ethan Thompson, and MarJon Beauchamp are all listed as doubtful due to G League assignments. With fewer rotation options, Indiana is expected to rely more on Pascal Siakam for scoring and leadership. Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith are also likely to see increased minutes and responsibility.Philadelphia 76ers’ injury report is shorter but more uncertain. Joel Embiid is questionable with a left knee issue, which remains the biggest factor in this matchup. His presence would affect both ends of the floor.Paul George is also questionable as he continues left knee injury management. If either player is limited or unavailable, Philadelphia’s rotation shifts quickly.Kelly Oubre Jr. is available after returning from a left knee issue and will play with a brace. Jared McCain and Johni Broome are doubtful due to G League assignments, thinning the bench but leaving the main rotation mostly intact. Tyrese Maxey is expected to lead the offense regardless of who joins him.Indiana is likely to play at a slower pace without Haliburton, leaning more on half-court sets and defensive stops. Siakam becomes the focal point, with others asked to fill gaps.Philadelphia holds the advantage if Embiid and George play, with projections giving the 76ers a 74 percent chance to win. If those two are limited, the game tightens. In that case, Indiana’s role players have a chance to keep it close through discipline and execution.
