By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor I wrote earlier this season that Paul George had golden opportunity when Danny Granger went down. He’s finally starting to seize it, being named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week. As Danny Granger continues to heal, George is becoming that guy the Pacers have needed.

Roy Hibbert sat slouched with his head down in the corner, as reporters scurried to find more productive players to speak with. Hibbert had played just 8 minutes in the second half of […]

Earlier in the day, the team announced that Danny Granger was expected to be out as long as three months with patellar tendinosis in his left knee. Should Indiana decide to bolster its […]
Continue ReadingBy CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent By the time the Indiana Pacers return home Saturday, they will have flown a rough triangle across the middle of the United States – from Indianapolis down to San Antonio, over to Atlanta and then back up to Minneapolis. They will have faced a pair of opponents who traditionally spell […]
