The Pacers' Summer League roster includes a first-round draft pick and six players with NBA experience. The most famous among them, however, is the one who became a world-wide social media sensation for becoming a father.
Augusto Lima is a 26-year-old, 6-foot-10 Brazilian who is under contract to Real Madrid in Spain, but was most recently loaned out to the Zalgiris team in Lithuania. There, he skipped a semifinal playoff game in May to be with his girlfriend for the birth of their daughter.
A reporter questioned Lima's coach, who happens to be former Pacers guard Sarunas Jasikevicius, what he thought of that decision.
