The Pacers team vibes were extra high last night, with a good group in the stands rooting on Mathurin.
"I was pretty pumped just to see him...how much they love me."

Tonight the festivities continue. Mathurin is back in action with Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner in the Skills Challenge. Then Haliburton will compete on his own in the Three Point Contest, where he currently has the second best odds of winning.
