The Indiana Pacers will be without Rodney Stuckey for the remainder of Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets after the guard exited during the second quarter with a sore left calf.
Stuckey scored two points in 13 minutes off the bench before leaving. He entered the night averaging 13.1 points on a career-high 45.1 percent shooting from the field and personal-best mark of 38.6 percent beyond the arc.
The Pacers, fighting for one of the final two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference, are in ninth place but have the same record as the No. 8 seed Boston Celtics. Boston holds the tiebreaker over Indiana.
