The Pacers have one more practice day before tipping off the regular season on Wednesday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
All of the roster and contract extension questions have been answered with few, if any, surprises. James Johnson, earned the final regular roster spot up for grabs in camp, beating out veteran Langston Galloway and a few other camp invitees, as expected. The Pacers value Johnson’s presence on the roster and in the locker room more than his play on the court. He’s the old head to help guide the young players, particularly in the front court, who will be playing, while also providing a level of toughness, having everyone’s back when needed.
