Most of the Pacers' core is the same -- Haliburton, Siakam, Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith -- but Ivica Zubac was brought in to replace the departed Myles Turner in a trade deadline deal that ended up costing Indiana the No. 5 pick in the draft. Team sources say the Pacers are confident that the deal will help reopen their championship window. They also acknowledge Zubac, who plays closer to the basket, will provide different strengths than Turner, a center who stretches the floor from 3-point range. "We have a great coach who figures things out," Buchanan told ESPN. "That's a strength of his. If things aren't going well, and we aren't playing well -- or [Zubac's] not fitting well, he adapts."

Marc Stein: As we’ve been reporting for several days, Nembhard has strong interest from Denver and some other yet-to-be-disclosed teams … many of whom would have to create an open two-way contract spot to sign him.

Josh Lewenberg: Canada opens Round 2 of FIBA World Cup qualifying this week. Their training camp roster is led by Nickeil Alexander-Walker and includes Lu Dort and Kelly Olynyk (who didn’t play earlier this summer). No SGA, RJ Barrett, Dillon Brooks or Andrew Nembhard for this window.

The Hawks have 17 players under contract after adding Dort and Nembhard, so they must subtract two by the time the season starts. Nembhard fills a need for a third point guard and seems unlikely to be the odd man out. Guard Buddy Hield is still on the books for $9 million but does not appear to be in the team’s plans, while guard Devin Carter (acquired in a salary dump from the Sacramento Kings) and forward Mo Gueye (on a non-guaranteed deal but out three to four months after surgery for a broken foot) are other potential casualties. Another trade, of course, is always possible. Atlanta also still has Bird rights on Kuminga that could be used in a sign-and-trade.

Josh Lewenberg: The Canadian co-captains, SGA & Brooks, have been great but Andrew Nembhard's been the best player on the floor tonight. 23 pts in 22 mins, 9-11 FG, 5-7 3P (including a nasty step-back just now). Told us the other day he was itching to play after an early start to his offseason.

“We talk a lot about just staying with the process,” Nembhard said. “I think it’s the competitiveness, bringing that energy every night, kind of when the season’s getting to the end, and it’s already out of (playoff) contention. It’s something you’ve got to work on. It’s only going to make us better for next season, having that competitive energy when it doesn’t really matter.”
