With Jermaine O'Neal out at least another month and Stephen Jackson the latest on an already lengthy list of casualties, the Indiana Pacers have barely enough healthy players for a scrimmage.
Jackson and rookie Sarunas Jasikevicius are the only Pacers who have played in all 44 games this season.
But Jackson's availability for Saturday's game against Detroit was questionable because of a hard fall in the second quarter of Indiana's 105-79 win over the Los Angeles Lakers Wednesday night.
Jackson was hospitalized with a bruised hip and scraped elbow. A further examination showed no fractures and he was released from the hospital early Thursday, the Pacers said.
