Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers (22-45) will take on Devin Vassell and the San Antonio Spurs (26-41) in part of the Saturday NBA slate.
Both the Pacers and Spurs are franchises accustomed to competing in the playoffs but are in a transition period. With Malcolm Brogdon sidelined, the point guard matchup of Dejounte Murray and Tyrese Haliburton was going to be something to watch, but Murray has been ruled out.
San Antonio is coming off an impressive 104-102 win over the Utah Jazz, which also put Gregg Popovich first all-time on the NBA career leaderboard for coaching wins.
The Pacers, on the other hand, enter this matchup riding a three-game losing streak with no shortage of key players sidelined. The focus for them right now is the development of Tyrese Haliburton and Chris Duarte along with adding a key piece in the 2022 NBA Draft.
