Monday night’s game held a much too familiar situation: the Indiana Pacers missing a starter due to injury. Luckily this time around, no other rotation player joined Malcolm Brogdon on the report. The Pacers were able to walk out with a win against the young Charlotte Hornets largely due to a huge game from T.J. Warren.
It seems quite appropriate that the player that dominated the game is also the only player that has been staying healthy this season. From a Pacers’ perspective, Warren’s health has been an anomaly. He has started and totaled at least 22 minutes in every game this season.
