The Pacers announce that they have picked up the team option on Goga Bitadze’s contract for the 2022-23 season. I wrote about the considerations for that decision here: forbes.com/sites/tonyeast… – 7:16 PM

Last Pacer off the court from warmups: Caris LeVert. He looks sharp and ready to go.
He’ll play in bursts and they’ll watch his minutes closely. pic.twitter.com/sYRXN37zLF – 7:01 PM

Not much new out of pre-game chinwag with N. Nurse
Same Raptors starters in Indy, need energy from bench on second night of back-to-back, and so on and so forth – 6:33 PM

No Brogdon for Indy but LeVert returns and will make his season debut vs the Raptors tonight (but on a minute restriction). – 5:53 PM

Just in: Caris LeVert returns tonight vs the Raptors. Pacers are 1-5 to start this season without him due to a sore back.
Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) is out. pic.twitter.com/e9YBx9pyWR – 5:52 PM

Also: The thing I always hate abt Michigan’s late-season matchups is that OSU is sitting here documenting each thing UM struggled w here. I remember Indiana carving us up with crossing routes, then OSU doing it. Today, it’s MSU quick snaps. OSU will use it, too. – 3:15 PM

Brogdon doubtful for Pacers tonight vs. Raptors. LeVert questionable. Siakam and Watanabe remain out for Toronto. Both teams will have some tired legs, though Raptors have well-rested Dragic in reserve for tonight if needed. – 2:02 PM

The Pacers’ final personal link to their ABA roots has fallen off the scene. Bob Bernath, who worked the first game in 1967 and has held courtside duties ever since, has been squeezed out by the loss of seating in @GainbridgeFH. These things happen and there’s no reason for … – 2:00 PM

Interesting but intuitive result from this week’s NFL tie leverage charts.
For the Colts, a tie is worth just 0.29 as much as a win. But for their opponent, the Titans, a tie is worth 0.76.
A tie would give TEN the H2H tiebreaker over IND, having beaten them once already. pic.twitter.com/yRUGzm9AzW – 1:38 PM
