The views on this page do not necessarily reflect the views of the NBA or its teams. * * *INDIANAPOLIS — This time of year, everybody’s got something. Busted fingers, balky backs, banged-up elbows.

Still learning how to control a plane in his hands, the way his Indiana Pacers defense tried to slow Donovan Mitchell's roll.
