Back from the Break: Pacers Return vs. Wizards B2B – Final Tanking Takes (Cuban & KP Weigh In)

In this “Return to Basketball” episode of The Pacers Post Up, Brad and Ryan gear up as the Indiana Pacers resume action with a back-to-back starting Thursday in DC against the Wizards—post-All-Star break edition! We give our final thoughts on the NBA tanking narrative: Mark Cuban’s viral X manifesto defending/embracing tanking (with his Mavericks history), Kevin Pritchard quote-tweeting it and polling Pacers fans on their stance, plus Rick Carlisle’s comments on the fine and his plan for working Ivica Zubac into the lineup. Pacers were back at practice this week—first injury report for the Wizards game drops Siakam out (personal reasons) and Zubac still sidelined (ankle sprain, no debut yet). We close out a jam-packed episode talking pure delusion with Kevin Durant’s latest burner account drama.
