Pacers never trailed in the first 3Qs, up as many as 20. Then were outscored 37-17 in the 4th and lost in Cleveland, 98-85.
Duarte scored 22. Sabonis returned from protocols, had 9/11 in 25mins.
Up next: at Atlanta on Tuesday, their final game before the trade deadline. – 8:32 PM

Sabonis just dunked all on Jared Allen. That happens sometimes when you’re willing to jump every time as a defender. Gotta respect it. #Pacers lead 52-47. – 7:34 PM

If Indiana got a first and two seconds for Caris LeVert, what’s an acceptable return for Sabonis?
Makes me wonder if a third team would be looped into any deal Washington is trying to pull off with IND in which the Pacers could receive more draft capital than WAS can offer. – 6:05 PM

Domantas Sabonis has cleared protocols after six days and will play tonight in Cleveland.
That also means Reggie Perry, who was signed to a 10-day hardship deal, is not available to play.
Goga Bitadze is also back from a foot injury. – 5:21 PM

If the Pacers clear the deck, they can get to over $20M in cap space this summer.
And that’s before factoring in any kind of Sabonis and/or Turner deals.
Not bad! – 5:13 PM

Sabonis is close to exiting protocols. He’s been working out at his sweet home gym. Isaiah Jackson is making progress, participating in shooting drills, but remains out. Probably for another week. Carlisle said it was a “moderate” ankle sprain.
Bitadze is questionable. – 2:41 PM

Pacers have signed 6-8 forward Reggie Perry (@_R1bang_) to a 10-day contract via the hardship exception. Sabonis remains in protocols, though he’s expected to exit soon.
Playing for Raptors 905 in the G League, Perry averaged 18.7 points and 11 rebounds per game. – 1:45 PM

I asked Rick Carlisle about undrafted rookie Terry Taylor’s ascension following his breakout game against the Magic. He’ll be relied on again w/ Isaiah Jackson, Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner all out against the Bulls.

Isaiah Jackson is OUT tonight due to a right ankle sprain, per the #Pacers’ latest injury report. Goga Bitadze (bruised right foot) and Oshae Brissett (sore right ankle) are questionable.
Indiana’s frontcourt remains thin. Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner are already out. – 9:26 AM

Adrian Wojnarowski: This is likely the start of a dramatic trade deadline makeover for the Indiana roster. Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis are among key players who remain in trade talks. -via Twitter @wojespn / February 6, 2022
Word has since trickled around the league that Beal would welcome playing with Sabonis, although one source with knowledge of the situation maintained Beal has not actively encouraged the Wizards to acquire him. League personnel say the Pacers are seeking a package similar to or greater than the haul Nikola Vucevic drew for the Orlando Magic last season. Only Sacramento, New Orleans and Washington have been linked by league personnel as Sabonis suitors with significant interest. -via Bleacher Report / February 2, 2022
