The Indiana Pacers started their day by agreeing to a long-term contract extension with head coach Rick Carlisle. After taking his squad all the way to the Finals last season, Carlisle became tied with Hall of Famer K.C. Jones with the 10th most playoff wins in NBA history.
Additionally, Tyrese Haliburton — a key reason as to why the Pacers made the illustrious run that they did — posted a simple message o n social media. The superstar is on a long road to getting back to the hardwood after a devastating Achilles tear during Game 7.
Finally, the newly extended Carlisle talked candidly about recently departed center Myles Turner. The head coach was just as surprised as anyone when he found out his big man would be signing with the bitter rival Milwaukee Bucks.
