Before the season started, the Indiana Pacers committed to starting both Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis. Starting two big men is bucking the trend of the modern NBA where “small ball” has become king.
The Pacers looked to take a step outside the box.
Just two days before the Pacers opened the season, Sabonis inked a four-year $77 million contract extension that kicks in next season.
Turner signed a similar four-year extension last year. The Pacers want both players to be a part of their long term plans, but can it work?
