The Indiana Pacers’ preseason is now underway, having faced off with the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday evening.

They managed to pick up the win in their first outing, scoring 123 points to the Timberwolves’ 112.

Aaron Nesmith was among those to impress during the win, earning 19 points, which was the most for the Pacers.

Elsewhere, Tyrese Haliburton made his long-awaited return to the court following a lengthy layoff, and Pat McAfee has now reacted to a clip of the NBA star warming up.
