What do you take away from Game 1? Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's trainer, Nem Ilic: “It’s going to be a series, that’s for sure. We spoke after the game. They went through it last year two times, both against Denver and Indiana. It’s funny how things work. Once another team wins the first game, then it’s all like, ‘Oh, are they good enough to take down San Antonio? Is [Nikola] Jokić going to beat Shai in the second round last year? Is Indiana going to win the Finals?’ I feel like it gets a little bit blown a little bit out of proportion. It was one game. There was definitely a lot to improve on. But for someone of Shai’s level, he was nowhere near himself anyways. So I’m excited for Game 2.”
After spending a combined 25 years in two stints with the Indiana Pacers, former senior vice president of player personnel Ryan Carr departed to accept a new position as executive director of basketball for Indiana University. To help fill Carr’s void, Indiana plans to promote Mike Born, who was most recently the team’s director of college scouting, league sources told HoopsHype.
Fred VanVllet: “It was between Toronto and Indiana that summer. Indiana wanted me to play Orlando Summer League and Vegas Summer League, but I ain’t feel like doing that. So, Toronto said, ‘They got $50,000. You come to Summer League. If you get the 50, if you don’t make the team — if you make the team, we’ll get you a two-year deal.’ I’m like, ‘All right, bet. Boom. Let’s get it.’ And that was it. And I was in Toronto like the next day. Kyle Lowry and — Kyle was there. Cory Joseph and Delon Wright. That was the three. And so when I go to Summer League, Delon Wright tear his shoulder at Summer League. So boom, now I move up. Now I’m the third point guard. And s***, I just worked from there. I was in. That’s all I needed.”
The NBA is sending Denver and Indiana to Mexico City for a regular-season game Nov. 7, the league said Thursday. The game will be the 35th in Mexico, all since 1992, and the 16th regular-season contest there. Other than the U.S. and Canada, no nation has played host to more NBA games than Mexico. "Hosting the 35th game in the country reflects the depth of the NBA's relationship with Mexico and the role this event plays in bringing the global game closer to fans locally, throughout Latin America, and around the world," said Raul Zarraga, senior vice president of NBA Latin America.

The Warriors made what has been described as a determined trade run at the Clippers' Kawhi Leonard in the final hour before the Feb. 5 trade buzzer sounded under the belief that Leonard might be unexpectedly unavailable after LA agreed to ship Ivica Zubac to Indiana. The Clippers ultimately balked then, but it is reasonable to presume that Golden State will investigate that possibility once again.
Ira Winderman: Norman Powell now questionable for Heat for Sunday in Indiana due to back spasms. Rest of standard roster good to go.

Bennedict Mathurin: Bennedict Mathurin, on playing in Indiana on Friday for first time since trade: “Indiana breathes basketball. Everybody knows that and I don’t really know what to expect. ... At the end of the day, Indiana drafted me. It’s still my second home to this day.”
Dave McMenamin: Deandre Ayton (back soreness) is out tonight in Indiana, per the Lakers.
Keldon Johnson and Dylan Harper each scored 24 points and the San Antonio Spurs never trailed in a 134-119 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night.
