The regular-season opener is Wednesday vs. the Pistons and the Pacers are anticipating an up-and-down game.
The regular-season opener is Wednesday vs. the Pistons and the Pacers are anticipating an up-and-down game.
The preseason finale vs. Minnesota will be the first appearance for rookie center Goga Bitadze, who missed three exhibitions with an ankle sprain.
The Pacers looked sharp early on offense but ended with 28 turnovers that led to 30 points in Friday’s exhibition game vs. Chicago.
T.J. Warren can play as a power forward in a small lineup, but the focus is for him to excel at small forward in his first season in Indiana.
After reaching 130 in each of their first two exhibitions, the Pacers are playing the kind of basketball they hope to replicate in the regular season.
After a short training camp there’ll be a pair of games vs. the Kings in Mumbai and only two more exhibitions before the regular season begins.
It was only the first day of training camp but coach Nate McMillan believes Malcolm Brogdon’s size and willingness to defend will carry over.
The Pacers moved on from Thaddeus Young after committing to Domantas Sabonis as a starter, but he has big shoes to fill on defense.
Malcolm Brogdon can play on or off the ball which gives the Pacers more options in rebuilding their offense through his trade and other free agents.
