The Pacers drop their fourth straight since the All-Star break, falling at home to the 76ers and surrendering 130+ points for the third time in that span. Earlier in the day, Rick Carlisle addressed the league's recent sanctions and the injury investigation surrounding Aaron Nesmith, offering insight into how the organization is navigating both scrutiny and a mounting injury list. With Pascal Siakam sidelined due to a wrist injury and Johnny Furphy undergoing ACL surgery, the roster continues to thin while the losses pile up. Off the court, SVP of Player Personnel Ryan Carr departs for a GM role at Indiana University, adding another layer to a turbulent stretch. The lone bright spot on the night was a career performance from Micah Potter, but the bigger picture remains clear: the tank rolls on. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this emergency injury update episode of The Pacers Post Up, Brad and Ryan break down the heartbreaking news rocking the Indiana Pacers: second-year forward Johnny Furphy has suffered a torn right ACL. Per Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype, Furphy underwent an MRI in New York today after awkwardly landing following a dunk in Sunday's loss to the Toronto Raptors. The results confirmed the tear, sidelining the promising Aussie swingman for the remainder of this already injury-ravaged season. This is yet another devastating blow for a Pacers team that's been decimated by injuries. We discuss what Furphy's absence means for the lineup, his breakout flashes this year, the mounting frustration in Indy, and whether this cursed season can find any silver lining.

For most of the night, it felt like another quiet, forgettable performance. Then everything flipped. The Indiana Pacers erase a 14-point deficit with a stunning 26–9 run to close the game, storming past the Chicago Bulls at home for win No. 12 on the season — their third victory over Chicago this year. Pascal Siakam led the charge with 13 points in the fourth quarter, while Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith delivered clutch shot-making when it mattered most. On the defensive end, Johnny Furphy and Nesmith made key stops down the stretch to seal the comeback. A game that looked destined to fade away turned into one of the Pacers most exciting finishes of the season — effort, execution, and belief showing up right on time.

The Pacers walk back into Oklahoma City and do the most Pacers thing possible — they beat the NBA's best team and exorcise some serious demons. Indiana avenges last year's Game 7 heartbreak with a cathartic win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, delivering one of the most fun nights of an otherwise frustrating season. A career night from Jarace Walker, elite defense from Johnny Furphy in the starting lineup, and a near triple-double on hyper-efficient shooting from Andrew Nembhard powered the win. The Pacers did it shorthanded, too — without Tyrese Haliburton in the building, as he shared with Taylor Rooks that it was still too soon to return following his Game 7 Achilles injury. He made it clear though: the next time he's in OKC, he plans to be in uniform. A night of redemption, release, and a reminder of what this group is capable of when it all clicks.

Part 2 of our midseason report card series turns the focus to the wings and forwards — the most versatile and identity-shaping group on the Pacers roster. Brad and Ryan hand out letter grades and classroom-style comps for the Pacers frontcourt and wing rotation, including Pascal Siakam, Aaron Nesmith, Jarace Walker, Johnny Furphy, and the rest of the group tasked with defending, spacing the floor, and bridging lineups on both ends. We evaluate production, role clarity, growth, and fit — who's delivered, who's developing, and who's still finding consistency as the season hits its midpoint. The conversation also zooms out to examine how this group supports the core, what it means for lineup flexibility, and how these pieces factor into the Pacers long-term vision. Honest grades, fair critiques, and context for where the wings and forwards stand heading into the second half. Next up: Centers — and the biggest questions still left to answer.

Two weeks after giving up 142 points in Miami, the Pacers flipped the script in emphatic fashion. Indiana goes wire to wire in a blowout win over the Miami Heat, holding Miami under 100 points and delivering one of their most complete performances of the season. Andrew Nembhard led the way with a big night, pouring in 29 points, 9 assists, and 0 turnovers, continuing to flourish in an expanded lead-guard role after an injury-riddled and uneven start to the year. His control, pace, and decision-making set the tone from the opening tip. The Pacers also made a notable frontcourt adjustment, going small-ball to match up with Bam Adebayo, starting Pascal Siakam and Johnny Furphy together. The centers did enough in their minutes, the spacing paid dividends, and Indiana's ball movement and shot-making never let Miami settle in. Young contributors Furphy and Jarace Walker delivered strong performances, the ball popped, and the defensive intensity never dipped — a complete team win that showed growth, adaptability, and confidence.

It was always going to be a historic night in Indiana — just not the kind anyone hoped for. The Pacers fall 120–116 to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and instead of celebrating Rick Carlisle's 1,000th career win, the franchise sets an unfortunate mark with its 13th consecutive loss. Indiana controlled much of the night, winning quarters one through three, but a complete dud in the fourth proved costly as Cleveland closed the door late. Despite strong shooting performances from Jay Huff, Ben Sheppard, and Jarace Walker, and a highlight-filled night from Johnny Furphy — including a transition slam and 11 rebounds — the Pacers couldn't overcome a 48–32 rebounding deficit that kept the Cavs within striking distance all game. Now the focus shifts forward. Indiana heads to face a resurgent Charlotte Hornets team, hoping to snap the streak, regain momentum, and finally get Rick Carlisle to win No. 1,000. We break it all down — what went wrong, what showed promise, and what has to change Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Brad and Ryan reunite for a full State of the Union on the Pacers after their brief two-game win streak comes to an abrupt end with losses to Cleveland and Denver.

They break down big nights from Donovan Mitchell and Jamal Murray, the return of Johnny Furphy, continued positives from Jay Huff, and Ben Sheppard's improved shooting. The episode closes with a league-wide lens, touching on Giannis and the Bucks and what his long-term future might actually look like outside Milwaukee. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Pacers battled to the wire in a 117–115 loss to the Bucks, capped by a last-second bucket from Giannis Antetokounmpo in a thriller at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. It was Myles Turner's return to Indy, but the former Pacer struggled to find rhythm against his old squad, while Pascal Siakam once again delivered an outstanding performance on both ends. Isaiah Jackson made the most of his opportunity, turning in his best game yet as the starting center, but injuries to Quenton Jackson and Johnny Furphy added to Indiana's growing list of setbacks. Brad and Ryan break down the effort, the closing moments, and what's next as the Pacers look to finally get on the board. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
