@AlexGoldenNBA @_Facci @roosterbra812 @JakeElrod44 @ChristopheLloyd @kcheney28 @jlh0215 @sjc2397 @JJ__indy @cpmorgan19 @rachxboyd Will the Pacers change their offense this year or in 26/27 to fit Zu, since he is not a 3-point shooter? How will Zu's defense against the other team help the Pacers in 26/27?

🚨🚨 MAILBAG TIME 🚨🚨 @_Facci and I are recording our mailbag episodes next week! Drop your Pacers questions in the comments! Trades, rotations, Zu’s fit, Jarace’s role, whatever you want! We’ll do our best to answer as many as we can!

@AlexGoldenNBA 😔

From the Indiana Pacers: INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Pacers forward Johnny Furphy suffered an injury to his right knee during the third quarter of last night's game at Toronto.  

An MRI taken on Monday at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York confirmed that Furphy tore his right ACL. 

Additional updates on Furphy’s status will be provided as appropriate.

@AlexGoldenNBA 12/7/5 and 5 steals, plus a block. =/- 0 in 30 minutes shows he isn't the problem. Walker is showing how to play team ball

Jarace Stock 📈📈📈📈📈📈📈

@YeahYeahOkBro -25 +/- Started out strong, but ended with a dud. Benn has to play Team ball, or else the Pacers will move on.

Everyone knowing Bennedict Mathurin was going to go off today after that post is exactly why I want to keep him on this team

@AlexGoldenNBA Nice article about a player nobody else has mentioned, but he appears to be a solid big man.

“Throughout the rumor cycle, a familiar group of centers has been linked to Indiana: Missi, Zubac, Gafford, etc. Each represents a viable option, but it is worth asking whether a less obvious name could emerge as a target before the trade deadline.” si.com/nba/pacers/ons…

@Ruffinonjoeshow Nick Marsh to IU - Hoo Hoo Hoosiers

Which portal WR will have the best season in 2026?

Cignetti has proven he has gotten the most out of his players together as a team. To improve and win, go to IU! Don't believe me - as Coach Cig says - Google it!

It's like a Dream... Cignetti built a Team to make all IU Grads and Fans proud to be a Hoosier! Not done yet!

@MLFootball @ShaadMcGinnis @Colts_Law @Colts @dandakich @barstoolindy Jim Harbaugh - "The Comeback Kid"

NAME A #COLTS QUARTERBACK OTHER THAN PEYTON MANNING OR ANDREW LUCK:

@AlexGoldenNBA It sucks. I get it. It's just tough with all the injuries.

The Indiana Pacers are currently on an 8-game losing streak. They have been outscored by 118 points during this stretch, which means they’re losing games by an average of 14.75 points. Here’s where they rank amongst the league during this losing streak: 28th in points 29th in FG% 30th in 3P% 27th in rebounds 23rd in assists 8th in turnovers 30th in steals 19th in blocks 30th in offense 25th in defense

@C2_Cooper Yes, many are playing. My point is simple. Keep playing the young players and even some more, so Carlise and KP can see who can fit and contribute meaningful minutes in 26-27. Don't wear out Pascal in a season that isn't going anywhere.

@DJDavisLaw Aren't the young guys playing now?

The Pacers, 6-25, have the worst record in the Eastern Conference.

@AlexGoldenNBA With the injuries and the bad start, am I wrong to hope the Pacers have the worst record at the end of the year? I believe this year should be a tryout for 26-27 when Tyrese comes back and at least a top 5 pick, which the Pacers have not had in 37 years - Rick Smits #2.

Pacers have the worst overall record in the NBA at 6-25. They also have the 4th toughest schedule remaining, per tankathon.com.

@AlexGoldenNBA Totally agree injuries have derailed his past 6 yrs. Before this yr, 193 games, 19 minutes, 9.1 pts, 5.6 rbs on 56%. If he stays healthy, he has a chance to show his talent. Carlise mentioning Wiseman last night was interesting, given that Wiseman was +15 while on the court.

@DJDavisLaw I don't agree with your opinion, because if he was, they would not have let him go 3 games into the season. Was a talented prospect, but injuries have really hurt his career.

WHAT!!? This season is weird

An IU season with less *star talent is impressive. Cignetti has proven he can get significant growth out of players. IUFB recruiting is about to go through the roof!

@AlexGoldenNBA @MikeAScotto No way. Walker still has time to grow. Give him consistent minutes the rest of the year and see how he grows.

From @MikeAScotto’s latest NBA Intel article: “As previously reported by HoopsHype, the Indiana Pacers were among the teams to express interest in Sacramento Kings guard Keon Ellis. Additionally, HoopsHype has learned that Pacers forward Jarace Walker was mentioned during conversations surrounding Ellis. However, it’s unclear which team brought up Walker in the exploratory discussions. Walker is owed $6.67 million this season and $8.48 million for the 2026-27 season guaranteed, while Ellis will enter unrestricted free agency this summer.” 🔗 hoopshype.com/story/sports/n…

@TonyREast That is excellent news! Why? Mathurin shows he can fit into what Carlise wants. It would be hard to find someone who can score like Benn!

Andrew Nembhard on Mathurin: "He can score the ball in a variety of different ways. He'll find his spots." Said the game is slowing down. Carlisle with a lot of praise for Mathurin, too.

@the2kmessiah No, thank you. Hang up the phone, Kevin!

Let’s just say this wouldn’t be enough to make it happen. Daniel Gafford you are an Indiana Pacer

@AlexGoldenNBA @_Facci @roosterbra812 @HouPacers @jlh0215 @ChristopheLloyd @TheDestinAdams @JakeElrod44 @PeteIllustrated @Ricky_Kelley @David_Cole_24 Can Mathurin fit with the Pacers next year with Hali back? If so, how can he fit? There aren't many players who can average 21.2 pts, 5.6 rebs, and shoot 42.9% from 3. Tough D, pass more. Why not tell Benn what you need and make him prove it this year?
