Indiana Pacers Injury Report for Game 1
Of the two teams, the Pacers are more banged up, but still have an injury report that will only impact bench minutes.

Walker averaged six minutes vs. the Cavs in the conference semifinals, and 13.2 minutes vs. the Bucks in the first round. His injury should open up more minutes for Obi Toppin and Bennedict Mathurin.
Pacers reserve C Tony Bradley (hip) is officially listed as questionable for Game 1. However, he told reporters on Wednesday that his hip injury was good and he’ll be ready to play in Game 1.
Bradley averaged 9.5 minutes, 2.0 points, and 2.0 rebounds per game against the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals.
