Instead of Counting the Days, I'm Making Them Count
T.J. Warren was having the best season of his six in the NBA, all things considered, when the schedule was called to a halt. He was the Pacers' leading scorer (18.7) and shooting a career-high 53 percent from the field. Over the last 12 games, following a three-game absence due to a concussion, he had averaged 21.1 points on 58 percent shooting. Less conspicuous in the box scores, he had become a standout defender after arriving from Phoenix last summer with a reputation as a poor defender. But while he was greatly frustrated by the postponement, he's learning to make the best of his free time.
