Rakeem Christmas has not played meaningful minutes in a meaningful NBA game. All of his appearances this season have been in garbage time, when the results of the game are already clear.
He played one game during his rookie season, playing 6 minutes, but that was the last game of the year and had no impact on playoff positioning.
The Pacers should consider giving him some playing time due to a banged up front-court.
Thaddeus Young has missed six (soon to be seven) straight games with a sprained left wrist. Lavoy Allen has started five of those six games, averaging 8 points per game and 6.
