The Indiana Pacers are playing the Washington Wizards on Friday evening looking for their first win of the new season.

The Wizards are the team that knocked them out one game shy of making the playoffs last season. 

However, thankfully for the Pacers, they will not have to face a player that gave them fits last season. 

Russell Westbrook played one season in Washington before being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers this off-season. 

Westbrook torunamented the Pacers last season. 

According to StatMuse, the three regular season games the teams played, Westbrook averaged 27.3 points, 18.0 rebounds and 20.0 assists per game.

The Pacers also catch a break because, Bradley Beal is out for Friday night's game.

  • Enes Kanter And Myles Turner Get The Same 2k Ranking: Myles Turner of the Indiana Pacers got the same rating in NBA 2k22 as Enes Kanter of the Boston Celtics. The two centers getting the same ranking comes as a surprise. Turner is one of the best defenders in the NBA, and while Kanter had a productive season, he is not on the same level as Turner.

  • Opinion: The Pacers Should Look At Harry Giles: The former Duke star was once ranked as the best player in the country in high school by ESPN.
