The Pacers will play their next two games without their primary post presence. Jermaine O'Neal will miss both weekend games, including Saturday in Cleveland, with a sore left hamstring.
O'Neal began feeling tightness in the hamstring during the team's recently completed six-game road trip but did not miss any games. He was unable to practice Thursday and has been ruled out for the weekend.
He will be re-evaluated for Tuesday's game in Chicago.
