The Indiana Pacers made it through their first week of camp with eight practices in five days. Frank Vogel gave the team a day off from on-court practice on Sunday as they will begin preparing for pair of preseason games this week against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Pacers will take on the Wolves in Fargo, ND on Wednesday and then host Minnesota on Friday at the Fieldhouse. Like the Pacers, Minnesota has high hopes for a big season if they can stay healthy this year after adding Andrei Kirilenko and Brandon Roy to the mix with Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio. Should be a great test to start the preseason for the Pacers.
