Pacers' Lawson available to play vs. Sixers

Indiana Pacers point guard Ty Lawson will be available to play in Monday's contest against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Lawson has been out of the lineup since March 7, after injuring his foot during his debut with Indiana.

The 28-year-old has had his most disappointing season to date, averaging career lows in points (5.7) and rebounds (1.7) on just 38.5 percent shooting.

Losers of two straight, the Pacers (36-33) are in danger of dropping out of a playoff spot, with the Chicago Bulls (35-33) and Detroit Pistons (36-34) directly behind them.
