Indiana Pacers point guard Travis Diener is out indefinitely with a sore left foot, team officials said after today’s practice.

Diener practiced Tuesday but had considerable pain afterward.

He was held out of today’s practice, which ended with another full-court scrimmage in which coach Jim O’Brien repeatedly urged his team to run.

“He had way more pain than we anticipated he would and if he doesn’t rest it, the problem could end up in a fracture,” O’Brien said, “and we just don't want that to happen.”

O’Brien said the Pacers might look at bringing in another point guard “to make sure our practices flow.”

The Pacers will not bring back Jamaal Tinsley, who remains under contract but away from the team while the Pacers try to trade him.
