All-Star Weekend
Pascal Siakam wasn't a fan of the new All-Star Game format that saw four teams of eight players play three games to 40 points. "A lot of sitting around," Siakam said after registering 4 points, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 rebound for Team Chuck in two games. "It's hard to get (a flow going). I don't know. I thought it was fun."
While Siakam was the only Pacer at All-Star Weekend, the Grizzlies had three players competing at various events. Jaren Jackson lost to Siakam and Team Chuck in the All-Star Game semifinal, putting up 4 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.
Memphis rookies Jaylen Wells and Zach Edey played in the NBA Rising Stars Game, but made a minimal impact on limited minutes.
Second half surges ahead?
Indiana rebounded from a rough 10-15 start to the season and now own the No. 4 seed in the East. The Pacers also defeated the Celtics (twice) and the Cavaliers, so there is hope they can follow up last year's Eastern Conference Finals appearance.
Memphis has won 11 of its past 14 games overall, but they're only 13-15 against clubs above .500. Rumors are swirling that the Grizzlies will trade star guard Ja Morant if they flame out in the playoffs. Morant is averaging 20.7 points and 7.4 assists across 32 games this season.
“Thank you so much for the support, it means everything.”
