The Pacers return from the All-Star break to face the Memphis Grizzlies at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Friday. The team will wear the Hickory Pacers uniforms as the mid-80’s Marion Giants are celebrated.
The timing is perfect with Zach Randolph in town with the Grizz. Even though it only seems like he played on those talented Marion teams, Z-Bo did lead the Giants to a state championship in 1998, absolutely dominating Jared Jeffries and a young Sean May in the title game. Memphis point guard Mike Conley knows about state titles at the Fieldhouse, as well as he teamed up with Greg Oden to win three in a row.
