DECISION time looms for Indiana's Victor Oladipo.
He played in all three of Indiana's scrimmages at Disney, after initially saying injury concerns would keep him out of the restarted season. Oladipo shot 34% in the three games, averaging 11.3 points and six rebounds.
Pacers coach Nate McMillan said he will meet with all his players individually, Oladipo included, in the coming days.
Oladipo has not indicated if he's decided yet about playing in the games that count at Disney.
Indiana opens its seeding-game schedule, the resumption of the regular season, on Saturday against Philadelphia.
KING'S CHAIR
LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers likes to ice just about everything after practices, and having those bags strapped all over his legs leaves him a bit immobile.
So when he emerged for his session with reporters Tuesday, he immediately realized the chair that was set up for him — akin to a bar stool — wouldn't work with his icing regimen. He needed something lower to the ground, and a nearby chair that was in the hotel walkway was moved over.
And it didn't take long to notice that the chair that James — King James, as he's known — would be occupying sort of looked like, well, a throne.
"Absolutely not," James said. "It's one of these hallway chairs that everybody sits in."
By the time Vogel — who spoke immediately after James — emerged to do his media session, the bar stool was back. The throne was no longer needed.
