The Pacers take great pride in their team motto, the "three Ts." Togetherness, Toughness and Trust.
In the wake of Victor Oladipo's season-ending injury, they're going to have to put greater emphasis on another one: Tyreke.
Tyreke Evans will step into the starting role vacated by Oladipo, who suffered a ruptured quad tendon in the second quarter of the Pacers' victory over Toronto on Wednesday. While the natural assumption is to expect a major drop-off in production, history suggests the greater challenge might be finding backup help at the shooting guard position if Evans can adjust to blending with the starters.
