The elephant in the room only took two shots and scored three points. But his presence couldn't be missed, and his future can't be ignored.
Glenn Robinson III got another starting call for the Pacers Monday, this time replacing Monta Ellis in the backcourt and finding a variety of ways to be instrumental in their 110-94 victory over Charlotte at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Ellis, who pulled a groin muscle in Saturday's win over Portland, will not accompany the team on the upcoming road trip through Miami, New Orleans, and Detroit, meaning Robinson has three more starts awaiting him.
