News: Fever center Aliyah Boston will no longer play on the U.S. World Cup Qualifying Team for games in San Juan due to an injury suffered at Unrivaled.

Pacers lose to Clippers 130-107, giving up quarters of 42 and 39 points, respectively, to begin both halves.
Siakam scored 29, Huff 18. Kawhi had 29. Big hugs all around postgame for Mathurin and IJackson.
Next: Fri. at LAL
This one got away in a hurry. After Pacers got to within six points, 2mins into the second half, the Clippers accelerated and opened up a lead of 30+.
It's 102-77 after 3; Kawhi has 29, Siakam with 27.
Pacers are going to give up 125+ points for the sixth straight game.
Pacers center Micah Potter favoring his right ankle, then fouls to sub out of the game. I didn't see any obvious contact. He walked off without assistance.
Jay Huff replaces him in the lineup.
These Pacers offensive possessions have been rough, leave a lot to be desired. Shot opportunities at the rim hard to come by.
Just 33pts in 18mins.
Unusually poor start for the Pacers, down 42-25 after 1. Clippers with twice as many made FGs (18 to 9) and they've yet to turn it over.
Kawhi already has 12pts.
Unrivaled just completed its second season with Mist beating Phantom 80-74 in the championship game. Title secured with FT.
Mist share in $600k prize pool.
Aliyah Boston is on Phantom, but did not play in the last few games due to a right "lower extremity" injury

Another Pacers loss, 125-106 to the Grizzlies. Still winless out of All-Star break (0-6). Defense & turnovers has been most concerning.

Pacers have struggled on the glass, especially on the offensive end, so Carlisle comes out of the timeout with a double-big lineup of Potter and Huff.
Nothing has gone well for them in the 2Q, outscored 28-8 (and 3/18 shooting)
Hornets up 17
Hornets' sharp-shooting has continued. 16-0 burst has given them a 10-point lead on the Pacers. They have 16 3s per game; already 11 for 19 in the first quarter & a half.
Timeout Carlisle.
