Here's What Twitter Is Saying About The New York Knicks And Indiana Pacers NBA Summer League Game On Monday

The New York Knicks played the Toronto Raptors in their first NBA Summer League game on Sunday, and the Indiana Pacers will play the Knicks in their first NBA Summer League game on Monday afternoon.

The Indiana Pacers will play their first game of NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Nevada, against the New York Knicks on Monday afternoon. 

They were originally supposed to play their first game on Sunday, but the Washington Wizards did not have enough players available due to COVID-19 tracing (see Tweet from NBA Communications below).

The New York Knicks will now take on the Indiana Pacers at 11 a.m. PT on Monday, Aug. 9 at the Thomas & Mack Center.

So the Pacers get the rescheduled game tomorrow and the Wizards are still out of commission for now. Hopefully all are staying healthy.
