The Indiana Pacers (22-18) will warm up the Fieldhouse on Sunday evening when they host the Charlotte Hornets (11-29) for a 5 p.m. tip.
The Hornets have had a rough season which has them firmly entrenched in the Wembanyama Sweepstakes despite being a young team showing promise last season. This is due in large part to franchise guard LaMelo Ball missing the first 13 games of the seasons and 24 games overall. LaMelo missed first 13 games and 24 overall this season.
The Pacers beat the Hornets after LaMelo first returned, 125-113 but then the youngest Ball brother went on the shelf for the next 11 games.
