In what has been a wild week for the Pacers, filled with a report from The Athletic about the possibility of moving toward a rebuild along with another directly quoting Myles Turner’s stated dissatisfaction with his current role, last night’s seemingly better-vibes-win over the New York Knicks is now being followed by more turmoil as head coach Rick Carlisle has entered health and safety protocols after returning a positive result from a rapid test.
According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, Carlisle also took a PCR test today to confirm but that result will not be available until Friday — when the Pacers play the Mavericks at home.
