Another Indiana Pacers game, another night without Paul George.
The All-NBA forward has been officially ruled out of Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, although that should come as no surprise given that George quieted reports of a potential return this week on Monday.
Rodney Stuckey, meanwhile, is out Thursday due to a sore left calf that also kept him out of the team's last two games.
David West was a last-second scratch on Thursday. He is suffering from an allergic reaction and will not play.
The Pacers enter Thursday at 31-40 - tied with the Boston Celtics for the Eastern Conference's eighth and final playoff spot - after a thrilling victory over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday.
Pacers president Larry Bird said Monday that he still expects George back before the end of the season.
