The Paul George Transaction Tree

6 Pacers that have some connection in their transactional lineage that goes all the way back to the Paul George for Victor Oladipo and Domas Sabonis deal:
Tyrese Haliburton
Andrew Nembhard
Ben Sheppard
Pascal Siakam
Johnny Furphy
Tristen Newton
Gonna choose to enjoy that Andrew Nembhard has 25 points (9 of 13) and 5 assists in 25 minutes while trying to forget about the rest of this one

70-57 Pacers trail at halftime

Really feels like you can see the frustration of the losses piling up on the players faces when small things go wrong. Feels like it’s becoming more difficult for them to let small stuff go and move on to the next play quickly.

Pacers have been outscored by 24 since they were up 20-10.

49-25 Jazz in last ~15 minutes of game time.

Shots are falling. Nembhard is hitting shots with his toe on the line. Pacers instantly scoring after their opponent scores.

20-10 Pacers with 7:48 left in first.

T.J. McConnell is available for tonight’s game against the Utah Jazz per the team.

The Pacers aren’t just bad right now, they aren’t even fun.

The injuries are sapping away the joy of watching the team in the midst of this 1-9 start.

From @cowboyonpatrol.bsky.social: ipacers.com/2025/11/11/t...
The Indiana Pacers are bad, and they aren’t the fun sort of bad either.
The Indiana Pacers weren’t going to be the same this year; we knew that going in with Tyrese Haliburton on the shelf. What we expected was to see Pascal Siakam leading the way as Andrew Nembh…

The most niche Pacers meme I've ever seen I can't believe it.

T.J. McConnell is questionable for tomorrow night. Pascal Siakam and Aaron Nesmith are off the injury report.

Jarace Walker 3, Nembhard free throws, Jarace blocks the Hill/Laettner re-enactment to stop the bleeding from the Warriors run to end the half.

Pacers down 48-41

Drew shoulder bump clears a defender and goes into a dump off assist to Huff. Like a ray of light shining into this dark pit.
November 10, 2025 at 2:22 AM
The Pacers are leading 16-15 while playing 3 guys that have been with the team for a week. They may not be able to lose in the Chase Center.

Pacers only down 4 despite *gestures wildly* as Kerr calls timeout.

I threw up a little seeing a Cody Martin post up fadeaway airball with flashbacks to Evan Turner.
November 10, 2025 at 2:02 AM
9 players out tonight. The Pacers are 1-8. This is clearly the darkest timeline so I suggest we commit to being evil.

Win or lose tonight. The palindrome just got longer.

Per @dustindopirak.bsky.social, Rick Carlisle says T.J. McConnell is ramping up steadily toward return. Noteworthy. Today is the last game Jeremiah Robinson-Earl can play on his current 10-day, and the Pacers ability to add him again via another hardship deal depends on McConnell + Furphy timeline.

Pacers say Aaron Nesmith (right forearm contusion) and Pascal Siakam (rest) are out tonight against the Warriors.

Last season, Pacers:
-Effective field goal percentage with Haliburton on: 57.2%
-Effective field goal percentage with Haliburton off: 54.4%

About a 3 percent drop. This season? With Haliburton off the whole time? (And many other injuries)
Effective fiel goal percentage of 46.3%.
These stats are stunning to me. I get that the Pacers don't have Tyrese Haliburton, they should have worse accuracy #s. But I don't view Haliburton's absence as the difference between making shots and missing more than they have in a decade. The available talent should be better.
That's the Pacers third game shooting below 36% this season. They had 0 across the last two seasons combined. Shot making has been awful.

They haven't had 4 such games in a season since 2012-13.

Final in Denver: Nuggets 117, Pacers 100. Pacers shoot 35.5% and, while they had some good moments, their offense continues to struggle. Season-low point total.

Nembhard returned and looked good. Nesmith was impressive. Not much else. Jokic dominated. Pacers 1-8.
November 9, 2025 at 4:37 AM
Jokic pushed Siakam before the inbounds on the prior possession and slaps down hard on Siakam’s arm on the layup here. Officials reviewing for a possible flagrant.
