Tony East: Pacers officially announce the signing of forward Kelly Oubre Jr. And a question I had is answered: He will wear jersey number 10 for the Pacers. Oubre's past career numbers were all taken: 3 (Braden Smith), 9 (T.J. McConnell), and 12 (Johnny Furphy). A new era of Oubre.
Scott Agness: Johnny Furphy talking postgame, says he's 6.5 weeks post surgery. "Just got off crutches. That was a big milestone for me. I'm moving around a lot more now without crutches. So it's been a big week for me."

Tony East: [The pick protection] gives incentives for how the rest of this season could go. How do you want that to be approached? Pacers GM Chad Buchanan: I think our organization has always been about competing. We’ve got a lot of integrity with this organization, that’s how we operate. We’ll continue to operate that way. We want to be developing some of our younger guys. Obviously, losing Johnny [Furphy] is unfortunate because I think he was going to have a lot of opportunity. He was showing signs of growth and progress, and that’s going to be paused now for a little bit while he recovers. But there’s young players on our roster still that we want to see see how they can handle the opportunities in front of them. But also we want to get some chemistry with [Zubac] once he’s healthy. [Obi Toppin] is on the mend from his injury, and we want those guys to have some time together. But we also want to be smart on how much load we put on them. Those guys all want to play. Those guys, this is what they love to do. But we’re gonna have to approach the rest of the year with what we’ve always been about, and that’s competing. And some nights that’ll look different, but we’re always going to go out there and try to compete to win.
Michael Scotto: JUST IN: Indiana Pacers swingman Johnny Furphy underwent an MRI today, which confirmed he has a torn right ACL, league sources told @hoopshype . Furphy, a key contributor who the organization is high on, has started 21 of 35 games for Indiana this season.
