INDIANAPOLIS -- The Pacers, riding a franchise-record 15-game losing streak and holding the NBA's worst record at 15-55, have been flexed out of a nationally televised game in the season's final week.
The Pacers home game on April 7 against the Timberwolves was set to be televised nationally on NBC and Peacock at 8 p.m. According to a social media post from Timberwolves public relations, the game will no longer be broadcast on NBC and will be moved up to 7 p.m. According to the Pacers' schedule page, the game will now be broadcast on FanDuel Sports Network Indiana as most of their games are. According to a press release from the Hornets, the game that night between the Celtics and Hornets will take the 8 p.m. slot on NBC and Peacock.
The Pacers have not won a game since the All-Star break and have been eliminated from postseason contention after reaching the NBA Finals last season. They have been hampered by injuries all season, starting with the Achilles tendon tear suffered by All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton in Game 7 of the Finals and now including the fractured rib to recently acquired center Ivica Zubac that will cost him the rest of the season.
