With their loss to the Kings they are now out of the playoff race.

Not a big surprise I’m sure since this was always going to be a gap year after Hali went down. They’ll be hoping to add a top lottery pick to the roster to regroup for a run next year.

I have not been following the Pacers this year, but how are they this bad? They made the finals last year. I know that Hali is out for the year, but he doesn't seem to be a great enough player to turn the worst team in the league into a playoff favorite.

Did I miss the news when they sold off all of their rotation players or is the coach intentionally throwing games?

Losing Hali for the year and losing turner was pretty big. They had injuries to start the year too so after that I think they just leaned into the tank.
