The NBA’s limited schedule release last Thursday left fans of many teams wondering where the rest of it was. While it gave everyone a glimpse of marquee games featuring up and coming teams and championship contenders (plus the Knicks), it wasn’t so exciting for fans of teams like the Indiana Pacers, who aren’t expected much of.
So as deflating as the tip-off and Christmas schedule may have been on Thursday, the league will indeed allow teams like the Pacers to tip off 82 times in the upcoming basketball season, as evidenced by the release of the 2017-18 Pacers schedule.
