The Pacers are 29-16 on the season after defeating the Suns. They are in fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings.
In his first season with the Pacers, Brogdon is averaging 17.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 7.3 assists. He’s shooting 43.9 percent from the field, 34.3 percent from beyond the arc 92.6 percent from the free-throw line.
Pacers star Victor Oladipo, who is still recovering from his knee injury, can’t wait to play with Brogdon when he’s cleared to return:
“He’s playing amazing right now,” Oladipo told Alex Kennedy of Hoops Hype. “First and foremost, he’s doing a great job out there of leading us and preparing us to play before every game. I mean, he’s a great player. Obviously, I was excited for us to get him before the season started and now that we’ve got him, I’m glad he’s here. I’m really looking forward to getting out there and playing alongside him. I think we got a chance to be a special backcourt and do something special this year.”
In need of scoring while Oladipo rehabs his knee, the Pacers acquired Malcolm Brogdon, T.J. Warren and Jeremy Lamb this past summer.
All three guys have been scoring the ball well for the Pacers thus far.
