Vucevic, Bulls use late charge to put away Pacers 122-115
Nikola Vucevic scored a season-high 36 points and grabbed 17 rebounds, while DeMar DeRozan added 31 points in the Chicago Bulls' 122-115 win over the Indiana PacersFEBRUARY 5, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Oshae Brissett - Minor role in return Brissett (ankle) logged 10 minutes off the bench Friday in the Pacers' 122-115 loss to the Bulls, finishing with two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT) and one rebound.
Impact Though the Pacers didn't disclose that Brissett was on any sort of restriction in his return from a two-game absence due to a sore ankle, he wasn't entrusted with a large role anyway despite Indiana remaining without several key members of the frontcourt. instead, head coach Rick Carlisle relied more heavily on two-way rookie Terry Taylor, who built on strong performances in the prior two contests with a 21-point, 14-rebound effort in 38 minutes Friday. At this stage, Taylor may have vaulted ahead of Brissett in the pecking order, perhaps signaling that Brissett could be outside of the rotation entirely when one or more of Domantas Sabonis (COVID-19 protocols), Isaiah Jackson (ankle) or Goga Bitadze (foot) are cleared to play again.

FEBRUARY 4, 2022 • INDYSTAR.COM
Reggie Perry - Joins Indiana via hardship Perry signed a 10-day hardship exception with the Pacers on Friday, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
Impact Perry signed a 10-day contract with Portland at the end of December, but he has most recently been playing for the Raptors 905 in the G League, where he is averaging 18.7 points and 11.0 rebounds per game. Domantas Sabonis (COVID-19 protocols) and Isaiah Jackson (ankle) are both out for Friday's matchup with the Bulls, while backup big men Goga Bitadze (foot) and Oshae Brissett (ankle) are both questionable, so Perry could be in store for an real role during his first contest with his new squad.

'Welcome home, Gary': Former HSE star Gary Harris leads Magic to comeback over Pacers The former IndyStar Mr. Basketball scored 22 points, hitting 6 3s, off the bench in the Magic's 119-118 victory
FEBRUARY 3, 2022 • INDYSTAR.COM
Torrey Craig - Hits five threes Craig ended Wednesday's 119-118 loss to the Magic with 22 points (8-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 37 minutes.
Impact Craig continues to be hot from beyond the arc, now having connected on 7-of-14 triples over his past two games. His 37 minutes co-led Indiana, and a potential injury to Isaiah Jackson (ankle) only further increases Craig's role.
FEBRUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Terry Taylor - Feasts in loss Taylor fouled out of Wednesday's 119-118 loss to Orlando after recording 24 points (10-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 37 minutes.
Impact Starter Isaiah Jackson injured his ankle in the opening seconds, resulting in a massive workload for Taylor. Taylor posted 15 points and eight rebounds Monday, and verified his talent Wednesday. The 22-year-old has dominated in the G League, and with Indianapolis' frontcourt decimated by injuries, he's a candidate to receive more run moving forward.
