The Pacers could lose their two finest gamers– Sabonis and Victor Oladipo– prior to the groups reboot next week. Oladipo still may pull out of the season, although he has actually been getting involved in practices and played in the Pacers first skirmish victory over Portland on Thursday.
Sabonis, 24, was picked for his very first NBA All-Star Game this season. He signed a four-year, $75 million contract extension that will begin at the start of next season.
Sabonis has averaged 18.5 points, 12.4 rebounds and five assists this season for Indiana.
Indiana Pacers All-Star forward Domantas Sabonis is leaving the NBA bubble in Orlando, Florida, to get medical treatment for plantar fasciitis in his left foot, the team revealed Friday.
Sabonis, who has actually been trying to play through the injury, intends to ultimately rejoin the group in Orlando, but he might miss out on the rest of the season, sources informed ESPN.
