Pacers need more help than Lance Stephenson to make playoffs
Justin Ford-USA TODAY SportsThe Pacers will get some help on Sunday when Lance Stephenson joins the team to play a few minutes in the reserve rotation.
Stephenson will need a couple of games to get his game legs going, but with six games remaining in the regular season his impact may be more emotional than physical, at best.
But even if the Pacers rattle off six wins to close the season, they still need at least one team among Miami, Chicago, Atlanta and Milwaukee to lose enough to slide behind the Pacers. With the tight races throughout the standings in the East, it isn’t likely any teams will be resting since no spots are locked up at this point.
