While losing their seventh game in a row, the Pacers may also have lost star big man Jermaine O'Neal.  

O'Neal, who nearly made a decision to sit out before the game in Utah, left in the third quarter after he aggravated a sore left knee.  He will undergo an MRI after the Pacers return to Indianapolis today.

"I'm going to have to figure out a way to get back on the court," O'Neal said.  "But I don't know when I can get back on the court."

Pending the MRI results, O'Neal may miss the Pacers' next few games.  He said he hopes to return to action in about a week.

The last time the Pacers lost seven consecutive games was after the infamous brawl turned mayhem at the Palace of Auburn Hills in November of 2004.
