Sabonis' Absence Creates All-Too-Familiar Situation for Pacers

Pacers center Domantas Sabonis is back at his offseason home in Los Angeles to receive further treatment for his plantar fasciitis, and his status for the resumption of the Pacers' season is in jeopardy.

Pacers coach Nate McMillan said via a video conference call on Saturday that Sabonis would be out "indefinitely." He added a decision would be made "in another week or two."

That means Sabonis likely will miss at least part of the regular season, which for the Pacers returns on Aug. 1. He also will have to go back into quarantine for a couple of days if and when he returns to Orlando.
