The rookies came through tonight for the Indiana Pacers, guiding them to one of the most refreshing victories of the year in a comeback win over the Los Angeles Clippers. The Pacers hung 38 points on the visiting Clippers in the fourth quarter, wrapping up January in a high note.
The Pacers got news earlier in the afternoon that Domantas Sabonis had entered health & safety protocols, which in addition to late scratches for both Oshae Brissett and Goga Bitadze not only limited Rick Carlisle’s option to 10 active players, but opened up opportunities for Isaiah Jackson to make his first NBA start.
