The Indiana Pacers have had tons of roster turnaround this season, including the brutal loss of big man Myles Turner, but one of the four centers on the roster is at risk of losing his spot. A key NBA insider spoke on how the big man, who is recovering from a major injury, has no guarantees with the regular season right around the corner.

In other news, Pacers general manager Chad Buchanan sent a clear message to the basketball world ahead of the aforementioned regular season.

Many around the league have already decided the fate of the Pacers as superstar Tyrese Haliburton recovers from an Achilles tear, but Buchanan set the record straight for those assuming Indiana's mindset. Yes, the loss of Haliburton for the foreseeable future is massive, but the Eastern Conference is as wide open as ever, and the Pacers are still the reigning conference champions.
