When Is Chris Duarte Coming Back for the Indiana Pacers?

Indiana Pacers second-year guard Chris Duarte was seen on crutches after suffering an ankle injury in the team's win over the Miami Heat on Nov. 4. Duarte is going to miss a good chunk of the season for Indiana. The Pacers have been a pleasant surprise early in their 2022-23 season, riding the strong play of Bennedict Mathurin and Tyrese Haliburton.

Chris Duarte is out for 4-6 weeks with a Grade 2 ankle sprain. Duarte has been a key player for the Indiana Pacers this season. He has made five starts in nine games. The Pacers are still longshots to make the play-in tournament in the Eastern Conference.
