INDIANAPOLIS — Pacers forward Obi Toppin will be available for Thursday’s game against the Hornets for the first time since he was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right foot after the season’s third game in late October, coach Rick Carlisle said in his pre-game press conference.
Carlisle said Toppin will be on a minutes restriction and will be on one for the rest of the game.
Toppin averaged 14.0 points per game in the season’s first three games after averaging 10.5 per game last season when the Pacers reached the NBA Finals for the first time in 25 years.
