The Indiana Pacers are just outside the play-in tournament picture with 10 games left. They hope to make the tournament, though it may not be their best path forward.
According to Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report, Lonzo Ball is expected to sign an offer sheet with the Chicago Bulls. What does this mean for the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Playoff picture?
The Indiana Pacers came one game shy of making the NBA Playoffs last season, and after the NBA Draft and with new head coach Rick Carlisle are they a playoff team in 2021?
There are now six openings in the NBA, and a few more veteran coaches have hit the open market. Is someone like Scott Brooks the right fit for the Pacers, who can't get its coaching search wrong this time?
Paul George has been criticized for his playoff failures in the past, but he came through in a big way Wednesday night, scoring 37 points in the Los Angeles Clippers' win over the Utah Jazz.
