“The next couple of games, we got to come out with a different mindset. That cannot happen again.”
Pacers had a much-needed practice on Thursday. Then, Sabonis and a few others spoke about their humiliating loss.

Domantas Sabonis (left ankle sprain) is a game-time decision. He went through pregame walkthrough, and Rick Carlisle said he thinks Sabonis will play but couldn’t say definitively. #Pacers – 6:37 PM
Tony East @TEastNBA
“I don’t know for sure that Domas is going to play, but I think he’s going to play,” Rick Carlisle says of Sabonis pregame. Won’t say definitely, but says he will “probably” play. – 6:34 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Mark Daigneault on holding starters “I don’t want to set a long term expectations that I’m always going to establish starters.” Says he isn’t trying to gain the competitive edge against Indiana but “at a future point in time” they might want to do that. – 6:32 PM

Mark Daigneault on Theo Maledon being in the rotation tonight “maybe, yeah.” – 6:30 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Three years ago: Victor Oladipo has surgery in Miami to repair a ruptured right quad tendon.
He played just 28 more games with the Pacers, then was dealt to Houston, then Miami. – 6:20 PM

Tomorrow is (finally) the Mavs-Rick Carlisle reunion, so I caught up with Rick this afternoon before the Pacers get to Dallas.
Here’s our Q&A on the “almost impossible” task of how he’s game-planning vs. Luka Doncic and the surging Mavs: dallasnews.com/sports/maveric… – 4:59 PM

Oklahoma City Thunder @okcthunder
Following a hard-fought battle against the Bulls on Monday where the Thunder nearly overcame a 28-point deficit, the team utilized the three days to rest, recharge and soak up two strong practices.
