Thanks to the pandemic, the Pacers and Indianapolis lost a chance to host the NBA All-Star game this year. Now with the make-shift showcase in Atlanta, the Pacer won’t have a player repping the blue and gold after the NBA announced the All-Star reserve list on Tuesday sans Domantas Sabonis, the most likely Pacer to earn the nod.
Sabonis has been an extremely valuable cog when the Pacers are rolling, currently averaging 21.5 points, 11.6 rebounds and 5.7 assists. He carries a heavy load for the Pacers, particularly on the offensive end while also being among the league leaders in minutes played.
