Toronto Raptors forward P.J. Tucker will play Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers after being sidelined for a game with a sore left knee.
Tucker, along with DeMarre Carroll, will be tested immediately, getting tasked with trying to slow down Pacers all-star Paul George.
In 19 games played with Toronto, the 31-year-old has put up 5.9 points and 5.5 rebounds per game while playing strong defence.
The pair of Tucker and Carroll will hope to do a better job of containing George than when the Raptors and Pacers met last Friday. George went off for 28 points and nine rebounds on 10-for-22 shooting. He was a minus-12, however, and the Raptors ended up winning that game, 111-100.
