Ty Lawson (foot) will be available Thursday against the Raptors, but is unlikely to play

Lawson (foot) will be available Thursday against the Raptors, but coach Frank Vogel said it's unlikely he'll play. "I'd like him to get another practice under his belt," Vogel said.

Analysis:

It looks as though Lawson will only be available on an emergency basis, as he continues to work back from a sprained foot. The Pacers are off Friday before continuing their homestand Saturday against the Thunder, so if Lawson is able to practice Friday he could conceivably return to the rotation Saturday night.
