NBA basketball is almost back. The Pacers front office had their first media availability of the season with General Manager Chad Buchanan and Vice President of Basketball Operations Ted Wu this afternoon in front of local reporters ahead of training camp that begins in earnest next week.

To discuss everything the front office talked about, I joined Tony East on Locked on Pacers. Watch the podcast below or listen in anywhere you normally find your preferred podcasts.

You can also watch the full press conference below.

The front office pair spoke for nearly 30 minutes covering most players on the roster and many other topics including Kelly Krauskopf moving back to the Indiana Fever front office, Tyrese Haliburton’s next step, Pascal Siakam embracing a leadership role, Myles Turner’s pending free agency, Bennedict Mathurin’s health, the development of Mathurin and Jarace Walker and much more. East and I cover them all and more in the podcast.
