Veteran center Tristan Thompson scored a season-high 17 points last night in a Pacers win … and what was his final game with the team.
“Hell of a way to go out, huh?”

Say whatever you want about Tristan Thompson’s four-game stint with the #Pacers, but one thing is for certain: He’ll always be attached to the first win of a new era in Indiana.

Pacers up 56-51 on the Wizards at half despite being in control most of the way. Tristan Thompson has 12 & 5, Brissett scored 11. Haliburton has 8-3-4.
They’ve outscored the Wizards 40-14 in the paint, but have missed 11 of 13 3s. – 8:36 PM

Tristan Thompson is going off. He’s 6-for-6 after that and-1. Didn’t get to shoot the FT due to a lane violation on the #Pacers. He’s still got 12 points in 10 minutes. – 8:33 PM

Ish Smith just turned in a nice hustle effort as he attempted to draw a charge against Tristan Thompson. Smith gave up 79 pounds in weight on that collision. Smith was called for the blocking foul. – 8:16 PM

Julia Poe: DeRozan on Tristan Thompson signing: “Got the utmost respect for him off the court. Obv. we all know what he brings on the court. I think this would be a great addition for us with what he’s able to bring: veteran leadership, understanding what it takes to win a championship.” -via Twitter @byjuliapoe / February 17, 2022
Draymond Green: Question… What if Tristan had a deal that paid him money to announce the team he’s going to? And Carlisle blew that money for him? I got fined for less. -via Twitter @Money23Green / February 17, 2022
