Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin could be a hot commodity in the trade market, but it won’t come cheap. Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reported

Last year, in front of their hometown fans, the Indiana Pacers won the Skills Challenge. A trio of Tyrese Haliburton, Bennedict Mathurin, and Myles Turner beat the first-overall picks (Paolo Banchero, VIctor Wembanyama, Anthony Edwards ), and a case of young All-Stars ( Trae Young, Scottie Barnes, Tyrese Maxey).

Atlanta enters the matchup against Indiana after losing seven straight games. The teams square off Saturday for the first time this season.

There is some outside buzz related to teams trying to trade for Myles Turner. The question is, why would the Indiana Pacers do this? Hint, it's likely to never occur.

Pacers forward Pascal Siakam scored 37 points against the Pistons to make his case for a third trip to an NBA All-Star Game.

Pascal Siakam had a season high 37 points, Tyrese Haliburton added 30 and the host Indiana Pacers fought off a strong challenge to defeat the Detroit Pistons 133-119 Wednesday night in Indianapolis.

The next game the Pacers play is tonight against the Pistons. Despite not having played for three full days, Nembhard found himself on the injury report prior to the game. Nembhard was listed as questionable due to a thoracic spine sprain and has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup. He will be out for this game.

Pascal Siakam scored 37 points and Tyrese Haliburton scored 30 as the Pacers won a technical-foul filled contest over the Pistons.

By the time halftime rolled around, Indiana guard Tyrese Haliburton recorded 11 points, three assists, and two rebounds. The only other Pacers in double figures at this time were Mathurin with 10 points and Toppin with the aforementioned 11 points. All three of these players shot 50% or better from the field at this point as well.

Myles Turner has come up a lot in rumors leading up to the NBA trade deadline, but the Pacers hold mixed feelings on dealing him.

Since joining the Indiana Pacers during the 2023-24 season, Pascal Siakam effectively commanded the role of veteran leader. During the offseason, he held mini camps, took young players under his wing, and, most importantly, performed when Tyrese Haliburton struggled. It's no surprise Siakam earned significant NBA recognition.
