After being shut out of the core seven NBA awards, the Pacers do have representation on the All-Rookie teams. But not two, as expected. Just one: Bennedict Mathurin. The Pacers’ selection at No. 6 in the 2022 NBA Draft was one of the top five rookies all season so this was likely outcome. For most of the season, he […]

I just had […]
As you’re watching another Pacers game without Tyrese Haliburton, you’re probably thinking what I’m thinking: this is a very, very different team without No. 0 on the court. Not nearly as productive, organized, free-flowing or fun. They look like a shell of themselves when he’s not in uniform. Because Haliburton has changed everything. And it’s not just […]
