The Pacers came close to getting their first win in Dallas, almost pulling off a perfectly executed missed free throw in the final seconds. The ball trickled out to Aaron Nesmith but his shot was just short of being a game winner.
Though it was a rough game, Jarace Walker played well, which is the kind on moral victory we're forced to grasp onto at a time like this.

The search for a real victory continues tonight in an NBA Cup matchup against the Hawks. Unfortunately, the team received some discouraging news earlier today.
Rick Carlisle says Obi Toppin will have surgery on Monday to place a screw in his foot. Says don't ask about it again until Feb. 1.

The hits simply keep coming this year. Perhaps it's water finding its level after a magical season in '24-'25. On the bright side, it looks like Nembhard is rounding into form.
A positive sign: I'm told Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard was on the court pre-game getting shots up.

He's been out since the season opener with a shoulder strain.
Injuries
The other positive is that Atlanta will be without Trae Young tonight. Also, Taleon Peter is back.
Pacers shift Quenton Jackson into the starting lineup with Aaron Nesmith, Jarace Walker, Pascal Siakam and Isaiah Jackson. Hawks starting Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, Zaccharie Risacher, Jalen Johnson, Kristaps Porzingis.
