Not one week into the new NBA season, and half the Indiana Pacers’ roster has already appeared on the injury report.
They’re without their top four options at point guard — and worse, all but one of the injuries are to guards.
So when the Pacers took the floor against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday — a 114-110 loss — in the second game in as many days, they had only 11 available players. Four of them were centers, so they started two.
Monday served as a rest day in Dallas, where the team will wrap up its three-game road trip Wednesday night.
Needing backcourt help, the Pacers held a workout with three players on Monday. Mac McClung earned the nod and signed a rest-of-season contract with the team Tuesday. He joined the team for practice in Dallas and will wear No. 3.
