Indiana Pacers
Recap Rewind: The Pacers continued their free fall in the Central Division by running their losing streak to nine games. The Pacers finished a quick West Coast roadie with losses at the Sacramento Kings and Utah Jazz.
Notable News: Jermaine O’Neal is slated to be out for a few games after being diagnosed with a sprained knee. He’s planning to get a second opinion, which may lead to more missed games, which in turn could lead to a lottery pick in the draft…Jamaal Tinsley was suspended for one game (Philly) for conduct detrimental to the team. It appears the conduct was nothing more than habitual tardiness. Tinsley returned to the lineup against the Cavaliers…Marquis Daniels remained sidelined with a left knee injury.
Fast Forward: The Pacers keep marching forward looking for a win. Their first chance for a W is at the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Pacers then return home to play the Washington Wizards and Atlanta Hawks to finish the week.
