Life without Victor Oladipo hasn’t been easy for the Indiana Pacers, but they’ve managed to make it work. Life without him and Domantas Sabonis, however, has put a real strain on Indiana’s bench.
Since Oladipo went down, their bench is still leaving a positive impact thanks in part to Nate McMillan’s efforts to keep the bench intact while altering the starting unit. However once Domantas Sabonis went down four games ago with an ankle injury, it’s been much harder for the Pacers to get anything done with their reserves.
Without Sabonis, they just aren’t the same.
