Pascal Siakam didn't really pick up basketball until he was 17, so he's always felt like he was playing catch-up to the more experienced players around him. But the Pacers want to hear his voice, because he's been where they have not: indystar.com/story/sports/n…

Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones for Colts QB? The crowd spoke loudly today. Afterward, Richardson signed autographs until Colts staffers pulled him away. Wait until you see what AR5 did for the young couple getting married Saturday. I took pictures! indystar.com/story/sports/c…

The Phoenix Suns have claimed former Lakers guard Jordan Goodwin off free agency waivers, sources tell ESPN. Goodwin, waived by the Lakers to create roster space for Marcus Smart, is a gritty, upside pickup for the Suns backcourt.

Day 1, Colts camp observations: - Full Daniel Jones breakdown - Full Anthony Richardson breakdown - Charvarius Ward showed up right away - Justin Walley running with the starters - Early sleeper at LB? indystar.com/story/sports/n…

Drowned in the furor around Curt Cignetti's SEC scheduling jab was Cignetti's considered take on scheduling parity. A reminder he's more than a sound bites coach, if also one who is always going to defend his program. Insider: indystar.com/story/sports/c… #iufb

Wrote about what Tyrese Haliburton said on the Pat McAfee Show in what as far as I know is his first public description of his injury: indystar.com/story/sports/n…

Going through the recording of the McAfee-Haliburton interviewed and am reminded that "I got champion piss," is a thing that was said out loud. (By McAfee of course.)

"Myles Turner did some great things here.. The NBA is a business and he's gotta do what's best for him.. I wish him the best moving forward" @TyHaliburton22 #PMSLive

John Haliburton is on. Notes again, as he did when I talked to him the day after the Giannis incident, that he doesn't swear and that's what bothered him about what Giannis said about it. (Also said he doesn't drink, which I didn't know.)
