I saw on twitter that Leaf, Anigbogu, and Sumner have all been recalled from Fort Wayne, I hope they'll make an appearance.

This is a game we need to take. Our schedule in January is rough. TWolves, Spurs, Bucks x2, Cavs x2, Heat, Trailblazers, Jazz.

Also, take a sec and get Dipo in the All-Star game: https://vote.nba.com/?referrer=asv18_ind&cid=asv18_ind#/

Sumner too? I don't see him getting minutes any time soon, even garbage time but who knows.

last I checked, Sumner hasn't played in Ft Wayne. I better look again to see if he's suddenly healthy.

I'm just surprised bc he hasn't played any basketball since his injury in late January. Literally 11 months and they send him to Fort Wayne just to practice and bring him back? Just doesn't add up.

I looked up the article and you were right, all three got called back up. Bizarre. I wonder why Sumner though..

That's a really bad start. Zeller is feasting on us.

The only players Domas can get calls against are 19 year old rookies. :lol: The refs have been brutal.

To attend team practices during the holiday break. It seems pretty straight-forward to me.

I am pretty certain that anyone could pull out a gun, shoot Sabonis, and the refs would call Sabonis for a foul.

Bojan with a low IQ play there. Forced a bad shot 1v3 instead of waiting for his teammates.

Stephenson has really embraced his jumpshooter role. Can't say I'm a fan of that considering his career.

He's been using the screens exclusively for pick-n-pops recently. Very few aggressive drives to the rim.

You don't play someone 20 minutes straight like that, you're just asking for missed shots. 3 fouls aren't 6, let Thad play. Do they get fined for fouling or what?

I think the Pacers are really under-performing, but at the same time the Nets are playing pretty well, good job by them defensively.
