On Nate McMillan’s evolving relationship with load management

During the live-streamed portion of Media Day, Nate McMillan walked up on an in-progress conversation and weighed-in with an unexpected answer.

“We’re talking about load management,” play-by-play announcer Mark Boyle said, seguing into the next segment with McMillan. “Are you a fan?”

“I’m becoming one,” said McMillan, who later went on to detail some of the ways in which the Pacers have adapted to rest prioritization strategies.

“We track our players in practice, we track them in games, and we know where they should be to give maximum performance,” he explained.
