After nine days off, the Pacers return to action on Friday night when they host the New Orleanse Pelicans.
In what feels like a poor man’s opening night, the strange circumstances of the game extend beyond the fact the teams haven’t played for over a week.
For the Pacers, the injury report surprisingly included Tyreke Evans (ankle) and Myles Turner (hip). Now we know, Tyreke will give it a go while Turner is out, which is a major blow considering the matchups on the other side. McMillan plans to star Kyle O’Quinn in order to keep Domas Sabonis in his regular spot in the rotation along with Tyreke.
