Jalen Smith is on the court for warmups and available tonight vs the Suns — his former team.
So a clean bill of health for Indiana other than Haliburton (hamstring strain).
Last meeting, on Sunday, Suns’ Big Three combined for 91 of 117 points. – 7:01 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Carlisle on Haliburton’s health pregame (via @BallySportsIN):
“He’s doing better. Hopefully we’re getting closer to him playing. He’s starting to ramp up his workouts so we’ll see where we are in the next couple of days.”
He’s been out for 9 of the last 10 games, incl. tonight. – 6:59 PM

Jalen Smith pregame.
AVAILABLE tonight vs. #Suns as he was QUESTIONABLE with low back spasms.

Prime 47 Carmel.
Go-to eating spot for Frank Vogel, who coached here in Indy.
Vogel first discussed Eric Gordon return from sore right wrist, Bol Bol (foot) progressing and later talked about defending #Pacers even w/o Tyrese Haliburton and with addition of Pascal Siakam. #Suns pic.twitter.com/mx5FYCRVBw5:54 PM

PJ Tucker and Bismack Biyombo are two players to monitor as potential buyout signings for the Suns after the trade deadline, per @GeraldBourguet (gophnx.com/phoenix-suns-t…).
Tucker would reportedly favor Phoenix as an ideal landing spot. pic.twitter.com/Jwr9BJtNKB5:54 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Rick Carlisle impressed with Phoenix Suns Big 3 of Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, saying each can have 50-point games.
Started off talking about Booker, calling him a “gym rat.” Said he’s seen Booker in Vegas in summer working out alone to a “froth.”
Sweat. #Suns pic.twitter.com/XTmpdc4MDW5:43 PM

The Suns feel “very confident” about getting a trade done for Miles Bridges, per @GeraldBourguet (gophnx.com/phoenix-suns-t…).
Since he signed the qualifying offer with the Hornets, Bridges holds a no-trade clause where he can choose his next destination. pic.twitter.com/NjFVGSNKud4:42 PM

The NBA Trade Deadline is less than 2 weeks away, and Suns trade rumors are heating up. Here’s the latest we’re hearing on Miles Bridges, Royce O’Neale and more: bit.ly/3UnnIJc4:26 PM

Ben Anderson @BensHoops
The only teams I could see truly selling themselves on Miles Bridges at the trade deadline are the Lakers and Suns (maybe LAC) who are pot committed to winning a title this year, have superstars to deflect the bad press, and could get him on a short term rental on the cheap. – 2:56 PM

The difference between LeBron James and No. 2 (Kevin Durant) is roughly the same there is between No. 2 and No. 29 (Jason Kidd).

When you see Nickeil Alexander-Walker in the locker room before games, he usually has a book in hand. Here’s how becoming an avid reader helped NAW on and off the court, inlcuding after he was “terrified” when he learned he was traded to the Timberwolves. startribune.com/timberwolves-g…1:10 PM
