The Indiana Pacers are facing a critical moment in the Eastern Conference Finals after forward Jarace Walker sustained a right ankle sprain in Game 6 against the New York Knicks. Walker's injury occurred while contesting a shot from Karl-Anthony Towns, leading to immediate concerns about his availability for future games. Despite having contributed solid minutes throughout the series, his status is now in doubt, as he was seen in considerable pain upon leaving the court.

The Pacers announced Walker is questionable to return, raising concerns among fans about the severity of his injury, especially as they aim to advance to the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder. If they win Saturday’s game, they would secure a spot in the finals; a loss would force a decisive Game 7 back at Madison Square Garden. The stakes have never been higher for the Pacers, as they must navigate this challenge without one of their key contributors.
