West has a sprained right ankle and will not return to Saturday's preseason game against Dallas, the Pacers' official site reports.

Analysis:

The Pacers confirmed that it was an ankle injury, but we are still awaiting information about the severity of the sprain. West appeared to be in a lot of pain when he left the floor, but hopefully this is a case of an injury looking worse than it actually is. A team that will already be without Paul George (leg) this season can ill-afford to lose West as well.
