The Pacers need to win on Monday night to keep their slim playoff hopes alive and will have to do so without center Jeff Foster, according to the Indianapolis Star.

He injured his knee late in the team's loss to Charlotte on Saturday night when he banged it against the leg of the Bobcats' Matt Carroll.

If the Pacers lose either or their final two games, or the Hawks win either of theirs, Indiana will miss the postseason for the second-straight year.
