Indiana Pacers (official thread)

[ScriptOhio]

OK, does this surprise anybody?

Andrew Bynum will be out indefinitely due to continued soreness and swelling in his right knee, the Indiana Pacers announced Friday on Twitter.

The team said Bynum, acquired in early February, will continue to get treatment. Bynum was traded from Cleveland to Chicago on Jan. 7, then released by the Bulls the next day in a salary-saving move. He signed with Indiana for the remainder of the season for $1 million, a source told ESPN when the deal was reached, and has worked with trainers to strengthen his oft-injured knees.

Another Andrew Bynum story:


Andrew Bynum apparently felt like getting his hair cut ... during halftime

Andrew Bynum has only played in 2 games with the Pacers since his short stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers. And it doesn't look like that will change any time soon, now that Indiana has announced the big man is out indefinitely with knee soreness.

Shocker, right?

Looks like Bynum has grown so used to not playing that he apparently goes on with his regular day-to-day activities without letting basketball interfere. Even on game day.

Heaven forbid, Friday's Pacers-Bulls game got in the way of Bynum's need for a haircut. So in typical Andrew Bynum fashion, he decided to get his hair cut during halftime.

At least that's what Instagram user @devanthehairtech says. He posted two photos Friday night during halftime of the Pacers' game against the Bulls. His first photo used the caption, "My cutrent [sic] situatiom [sic]. Bathroom cut at bankers life for Pacer center Andrew Bynum during halftime of Bulls game."

Plus, it's probably a good thing he got trimmed up before his hair got out of control. We all remember what that looked like .

Indiana Pacers' Bennedict Mathurin calls out LeBron James: 'He's going to have to show me he's better than me'

Along with a rookie that raises the ceiling of the organization’s future, the Indiana Pacers apparently received a player with an unwavering level of confidence when drafting ex-Arizona star Bennedict Mathurin. Ahead of hearing his name called, Mathurin did not shy away from calling out one of the best players to ever pick up a basketball, LeBron James.

“A lot of people say he’s great,” Mathurin said in an interview with the Washington Post. “I want to see how great he is. I don’t think anybody is better than me. He’s going to have to show me he’s better than me.”

Just sayin': The rookie should just shut up and play.
