“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

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

  • Why the Midwest is the top region for first time homebuyers

    With 30-year mortgage rates above 7% and housing inventory remaining low in US markets, it's becoming increasingly difficult for first-time homeowners to find something affordable. While some housing markets have grown more expensive as demand remains high, other parts of the country may still hold hope for first-time homebuyers. Zillow Senior Economist Orphe Divounguy joins Wealth! for the latest edition of Real Estate: The New Reality to share insights into the top-rated housing markets for first-time homebuyers who have affordability in mind. Divounguy explains: "Mortgages are driving most of the activity these days... In March, unfortunately, mortgages started increasing again. We saw the new listings metrics start to ease again. In April, first couple of weeks, we see an increase again. So mortgage rates really driving what's going on out there. But there are markets where homeowners are less likely to be affected by the big swings in mortgage rates. Those are markets that are in places that are relatively more affordable. They're in the Midwest. They're also in Texas and Florida. The markets where the majority of homeowners don't even have a mortgage to start with."
