After a busy offseason, we've officially entered the doldrums of the NBA calendar year. It's been an exciting summer for Pacers fans between the Draft, Summer League, free agency, and the surprise #HickoryPacers announcement.
Things have slowed down as of late, though, and the Blue & Gold faithful are no doubt counting down the days until the start of training camp.
While there may not be a lot going on on the court, NBA players most definitely enjoy this time of year. August is the one month where they're truly free of commitments, allowing them to spend quality time with their families and get in a little rest and recuperation before the grind of another NBA season.
