After practice on Monday, Nate McMillan discussed how Damien Wilkins went from a being curious summer signing to making the regular-season roster in a valuable role as the prognosis for Glenn Robinson III’s return to a turn for the worse.
According to McMillan, he and the Pacers front office felt Wilkins could be a quality veteran insurance policy willing to stay ready and fill in gaps in the playing rotation as the need arises.
Well, it didn’t take long for that need to become a reality with Robinson now out months instead of weeks.
