0–3 and Out of Bodies: Siakam Shines, Injuries Mount, and the Pacers Make a Roster Move

The Pacers are officially in scramble mode after falling to 0–3 with losses in Memphis and Minnesota. While Pascal Siakam continues to play at an All-NBA level and Bennedict Mathurin flashed the leap everyone hoped for before his toe injury, the story of the season so far has been injuries — and the “next man up” mantra is getting stretched to its limit. Brad and Ryan break down Siakam’s brilliance, the continued hot shooting from Aaron Nesmith, and the frustrating struggles of Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker (a combined 7-for-35 from deep). Plus, they go glass-half-empty and glass-half-full on the center-by-committee experiment, and what the Pacers need to do to steady the ship before things start to spiral.
