The Pacers led the Raptors 70-60 at halftime.
The 24-year-old, who didn't join the Pacers in the bubble last season because of plantar fasciitis, is one of the squad's most dominant players. Sabonis ranks second to Malcolm Brogdon (21.9) in points per game, averaging 20.9 and leading the squad with 12.9 rebounds per game and a 53.5 field-goal percentage.
Without him, Doug McDermott's and Myles Turner's offensive roles could increase. McDermott has started the last five games, and Turner posted a season-best 25 points against the Raptors in a loss Sunday.
