The Indiana Pacers and San Antonio Spurs were in the City of Lights for the 2025 NBA Paris Games this month. How did they do?

By the time halftime rolled around, Indiana guard Tyrese Haliburton recorded 11 points, three assists, and two rebounds. The only other Pacers in double figures at this time were Mathurin with 10 points and Toppin with the aforementioned 11 points. All three of these players shot 50% or better from the field at this point as well.

Pacers power forward Pascal Siakam was named to the Eastern Conference All-Star reserves on Thursday. It's his third selection and first as a Pacer.

There were six technical fouls (four by the Pistons and two by the Pacers) given out in the game and one flagrant foul. Pistons forward Isaiah Stewart was ejected in the second quarter for a flagrant foul on Thomas Bryant. Stewart also picked up a technical foul just one minute after he entered the game in the first quarter.

Indiana loves to score a lot of points to win games. Adding someone like Kennard helps them accomplish that goal. Kennard is averaging 8.8 points, three rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game. He also shoots 46.4 percent from beyond the 3-point arc.
