After years of struggling to get over the hump, the Indiana Pacers are set to do just that behind starting center Domantas Sabonis. Sabonis has put the Pacers on the map over the past two seasons, earning back-to-back All-Star nods and showing out on All-Star Weekend in 2021.
Now, the big man will be in charge of leading them back to the playoffs following a disappointing end to the 2020-21 season. Sabonis, 25, is the most promising star on the roster with T.J. Warren shelved for the foreseeable future. Can he lead the team on offense and prove that he belongs among the NBA’s best?
