Pacers starting guard Andrew Nembhard the odd man out tonight. Has played just 5mins.
Mathurin started the second half in his place, now McConnell & Sheppard in before him.
Pacers cross triple digits, up 100-86 on Celtics with 12mins left. Siakam & Mathurin both have 23pts – 8:57 PM

With Myles Turner out for the Pacers, Pascal Siakam should play an even bigger role.
Last year Siakam played nine games against the World Champion Celtics and had a Jokic-ian effect…
On the court: 314 minutes – +0
Off the court: 123 minutes – -48
..his teams lost all nine. pic.x.com/EX8ueaBjgP – 6:19 PM

Kuminga believes in his talent and ability to progress into a star in the league and the Warriors have seen statistics that measure his growth similarly to the early years of the Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard, Indiana’s Pascal Siakam and Boston’s Jaylen Brown. The Warriors, however, prefer to view Kuminga’s growth this upcoming season. The fit between Kuminga and head coach Steve Kerr is also something Warriors officials are monitoring, sources said. -via ESPN / October 21, 2024
“You saw some of the video of what they did in Orlando this past week at Pascal’s place,” Chad Buchanan, Pacers general manager, said of Siakam. “He’s at the point in his career where it’s just about winning. He’s secured his contract, he’s established himself as a player, and winning is all that matters to him. His leadership is showing with some of our younger guys. You see it in the video clips, we see it every day; he’s taking young guys under his wing and passing on information that can help that player.” -via iPacers.com / September 28, 2024
