Indiana Pacers

It's an issue that won't go away and has been described as 'worse this year' than past seasons, with the the board of governors to meet this week.

Johnny Furphy injured his right knee on an awkward landing following a dunk in Monday's 122-104 loss to the Toronto Raptors.

The Aussie was one of OKC's rising stars as they built towards a championship. The ice cold decision to trade him was ultimately vindicated.

The Thunder have won their first NBA Championship, defeating Indiana as star guard Tyrese Haliburton went down with a significant injury.

The Pacers - 50-1 title shots at the start of the season - rolled past the Oklahoma City Thunder in Indianapolis to square the series at 3-3.

Johnny Furphy scored his first NBA Finals points in a moment he will never forget. But the fact he was on court in the first place was a bad sign.

The Indiana Pacers moved within two wins of perhaps the most unlikely title in NBA history, stunning Oklahoma City Thunder in game three.

With just 0.3 seconds left on the clock, a player who is gaining the reputation for being the most clutch player in the NBA stepped up yet again.

Indiana have moved through to the NBA finals for just the second time in history after a clinical game six victory.

Tyrese Haliburton was waiting for the right time to bring back Reggie Miller's choke signal, but he might have gone off a little early.
