Kyle O’Quinn earns nomination for the Spirit of Jeff Foster Award

The spirit of Jeff Foster lives in all of us. It was clear that his spirit was in Kyle O’Quinn on Saturday when the current Indiana Pacers center dove out of bounds — and took a seat — to save a loose ball and give the Pacers another chance to score.

Wesley Matthews rewarded O’Quinn’s effort and determination by knocking down a 3-pointer, which led to a timeout from the Washington Wizards.

It was O’Quinn’s hustle that gave the Indiana Pacers another opportunity to score on a play where many would have watched the ball bounce away.
