Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to the Hammer and Nigel show Man. If
you're a Pacer fan, you're bummed out. My name is
Nigel Jerry Lopez in for Hammer. There's some serious injuries,
like the Pacers have more injuries than the Colts do
at this point right now, And it's not hyperbole. I
don't think that's exaggeration. And to prove that they have

(00:22):
a lot of injuries, they signed a three time NBA
dunk champion, very talented, but he's from the G League.
They signed him from the G League yesterday. Mark McClung, white.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Dude, right, they can jump out of the building baller.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah, signed him to a multi year contract, the first
standard NBA contract for this guy after the dunk contest,
first ever three p champion.

Speaker 2 (00:49):

mac McClung. He jumps. So now we have the two
most interesting white people both playing in this We have
the greatest white female shooter of all time, Kaylyn, and
now we have the greatest white dunker of all time
in mc McClary.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Well, I don't think race has should be play any
part in it.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
To you, Jerry, trying to be diverse here uh.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Here, I was talking to Kevin Bowen from one oh
seven to five to Fan the Morning the Morning Show yesterday.
Here is how bad it is for the Pacers in
terms of injuries right now.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
So they currently have eight players missing time due to injury,
particularly in the back court. Like that's where virtually all
of it is. And this is including Kyrie Halliburn. Here.
So the other night on a Saturday night, and I
consider myself, I guess the follow over the Pacers, they
had a lineup in the first quarter where their two

(01:45):
guards were guys by the name of ray J. Dennis
and tayl and Peter Okay. And like, I mean, you've
got to be an eighty suit where I gots a
forty one night season ticket holder to probably know who
those two guys are. They're getting it in the first quarter
of game two of the season. Like to me, that
sounds like a lineup for the fort Wayne madd answer

(02:06):
the Noblesville Boom like and it is. Shot. I mean,
that's just the reality of where they're at right now.
They are in a dire health situation. Guys injured, Tyree Talliburton,
TJ McConnell, Benedic Matheren, Andrew Nemhart, Obi Popping, Oh, Johnny Furfy.
I mean the list goes on and on.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
I mean the list, that list of names you just read,
that's the that's the roster.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Hey, you talked about me running, Those guys are gonna
be running. Those five guys that are healthy, and they're
gonna take them up. Now you have a chance to
go out here and play. Go, go, make a name
for yourself.
