Tyreke Evans was back at practice, back in the fold and presumably more immersed in the team culture.
Having been left home when the Pacers flew to Cleveland on Friday for what coach Nate McMillan described as a "pattern" of tardiness – something Evans has acknowledged - Evans appeared to have been forgiven and his mistake forgotten by Sunday's practice at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
"We're past it," co-captain Thaddeus Young said. "We're ready to move on to the next game."
That would be Monday, when the Pacers meet Portland at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Evans will be in uniform and in his regular spot in the playing rotation, trying to extend the pattern the Pacers have established in their previous two games, a 20-point victory at San Antonio and a 12-point victory at Cleveland.
