Despite a suspended Bennedict Mathurin and a hobbled Tyrese Haliburton, the Indiana Pacers produced quite the performance on Thursday. The Detroit Pistons are one of the brightest aspects of the 2024-25 season, but the Pacers' recent surge didn't care for such a feel-good story. The Pacers' frontline dominated the Pistons in a 111-100 road victory.
Pacers: Aaron Nesmith (left ankle sprain) returned after missing 2 1/2 months and Haliburton (groin) was back after sitting out Indiana’s last game. Nesmith started with Bennedict Mathurin suspended for bumping official Natalie Sago in Tuesday’s loss to Cleveland.
Duren is extension eligible this summer, so if the Pistons decide he’s not the guy, Turner would be a nice option as he fits the timeline and provides skills that none of their current centers have, namely the ability to block upwards of two shots per game while knocking down 3-point shots.
