The Indiana Pacers will be without starters Darren Collison and Mike Dunleavy when they face the Los Angeles Clippers.

Collison will miss his second straight game with a sprained ankle. Coach Jim O'Brien says Collison's injury is more severe than originally thought, but shouldn't keep him out much longer.

T.J. Ford will start in Collison's place Thursday night.

Dunleavy will miss the game because his wife is in labor. Brandon Rush will replace him in the lineup.

Clippers center Chris Kaman will miss his fifth straight game with a sprained left ankle, and guard Baron Davis will miss his fifth in a row with a sore left knee.
