Lol, questionable means questionable, he’s not listed as out. He’s been using a heat pad every time he’s on the bench for the last few months, he’s clearly not faking it.

I can’t imagine he doesn’t play in the most important game of the season. I can believe that this is prelude to him shutting it down once the team feels comfortable that we’re locked into 6.
EDIT: I also just realized that if he shuts it down now he gets 10 days of rest before the play-in. If he has to play the rest of the season to keep 6th, he gets 6 days rest before the playoffs start.
In some ways this could be a calculated gamble to get 100% and bet that you will win your play-in game. Viewed differently, he has always been hobbling his way to 65 as the primary objective.

This is interesting.
I’d be willing to bet he’ll play, but if he doesn’t and he misses additional games it means two things 1) his sole motivation to play the last few months was indeed to get to 65 games 2) he has likely been playing injured the whole time.
A 3rd factor to consider in combination of those things: the Pacers know he has been playing injured and aren’t as inspired to lock up the 6 seed as we hope because prolonging the season for their injured star (who also has plans to play in the Olympics) may not be the best course of action.

His posture and the constant use of the hyperice back wrap have been worrying me all season

TJM has been hooping lately, just need him and Siakam to step up and we can best Miami without Hali.

You need to touch grass. Istg you guys are never happy. People get mad at him for trying to play through injury and will get mad at him if he has to sit out 🤦♀️

Jesus Chriat guys… he’s only listed as questionable. Chill

He had back issues in college but he has been on record saying pacers medical team has that largely under control. The heat wrap he wears is precautionary if I had to guess. Tony East said he practice today. Agness said he expects both ty and Smith to play. Let’s breathe. Lol.
