How much will the Indiana Pacers miss Domantas Sabonis if he can’t return and play after leaving the NBA campus to seek treatment from a plantar fasciitis specialist on his left foot, as first reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski?

The answer to that question could hinge on the availability of first-time All-Star teammate Escort Victor Oladipo. After initially indicating that he would not play during the 2019-20 season restart, Oladipo has practiced with the team and played in Indiana’s opening game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday.

How weakened will Indiana be without Sabonis and potentially Oladipo, and what impact will it have on the rest of the Eastern Conference playoff run? We’ll see.
