As coach said, my heart dropped. We all knew from his expression that it was bad and that was it. It's a completely different game if he doesn't get hurt. No guarantee of a win, but its at least a whole lot closer.
This might be the hardest injury to stomach that I've ever seen.

I don't think anyone wants to leave after this ride. I bet Rick gives special attention to Mathurin, Obi and Shep to prepare for another run. Unfortunately, Walk will probably do so.

Edit: Need to find a way to keep the real coach's player, James Johnson

They'll be waiting on him

The Thunder have made it to 5 NBA Finals in their franchise history, winning 2 Golds (1979 and 2025) and 3 Silvers (1978, 1996, and 2012.)

The Pacers have 3 Golds (1970, 1972, and 1973) and 1 Silver (1969) from the from the ABA, and 2 Silvers (2000 and 2025) from the NBA.


Both franchises have a very respectable history in professional basketball ...... the Pacers will surely be hungry for more hardware in 2026 and beyond.
