Paul George didn’t get traded ahead of or during the NBA draft. This wouldn’t be surprising in most instances; the real shock, typically, is when big names get dealt—a la Jimmy Butler to the Minnesota Timberwolves. But this situation is different. George isn’t only entering free agency next summer, but he has eyes for the [...]

Give Indiana Pacers president Kevin Pritchard this: The man has guts. Shopping Paul George is no easy task. He is a free agent after next season, and everyone expects him to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers. Any team that acquires him will do so under the guise that he’s a rental unless they can [...]

In something of an unexpected turn, Indiana Pacers president Larry Bird relinquished his post on Friday.

It’s officially Paul George trade season. The Cleveland Cavaliers completed their first-round sweep of the Indiana Pacers on Sunday.

While George cannot explore free agency until 2018 (player option), [...]

Despite trailing by as many as 26 points to the Indiana Pacers in Game 3, including 25 at halftime, the Cleveland Cavaliers came storming back to secure a victory and 3-0 series lead.

Lance Stephenson’s glorious return to the Indiana Pacers (cue the “I’m Coming Home” song we’ve all heard a million times) is less than a week old and it has already brought so much intrigue, a controversial garbage time layup that drew the ire of the Raptors, twitter battles, a comparison of his Pacers return to [...]

Lance Stephenson’s second go-round with the Indiana Pacers is officially underway, and it naturally began with borderline mayhem. With the Pacers up 15 over the Toronto Raptors at the end of Tuesday’s game, Stephenson received a pass from Paul George, dribbled about half the length of the court, and then went in for a layup. [...]

It has been a long, frustrating journey through the NBA abyss for “Born Ready” Lance Stephenson ever since he decided to leave the Indiana Pacers and sign a three-year, $27 million contract with the Charlotte Hornets in the summer of 2014. After being a breakout star and valuable play maker for a Pacers team that [...]

Paul George wasn’t happy following the Indiana Pacers’ Tuesday night loss, at home, to the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was mad. Upset. Straight pissed off. And he was even more frustrated that the rest of his team wasn’t matching his anger. Per the Indianapolis Star‘s Nate Taylor and Nuvo.net’s Jon R.
