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.
