Ford and Jarrett Jack -- can remain healthy at least until Travis Diener, the third point guard, returns from his sore left foot. 溜馬教練 Jim O'Brien 祈禱他的前兩名控球後衛 - T.J. Ford 和 Jarrett Jack 能保持健康，至少要等到第三名控球 Travis Diener 能從他的左腳酸痛中復原。 "We've been playing Marquis (Daniels) at (point guard) a lot in practice, and he's ready to go if we need him," O'Brien said before the 100-94 loss. 「我們讓 Marquis打控球也練過不少次了，假如我們需要他時，他也隨時準備好了。」 O'Brien 教練在這場 100-94 輸球的比賽前說。 Diener, who missed the entire preseason, has started shooting after practice, but he is still limited. Diener 錯過了整個熱身賽，已經開始練習投籃，但還是受到一些限制。 "I'm hoping I can start practicing relatively soon," Diener said. "Hopefully in the next week or week and a half. It's been frustrating. You always hope to recover a little quicker." Diener 說：「我希望我能很快的開始練習。希望是在下星期或一個半星期。這很讓人感到挫折。你總是希望能恢復得快一點。」 Diener's absence allowed Ford and Jack to get used to O'Brien's system. Jack averaged 29 minutes a game and Ford 27 in the preseason. O'Brien also teamed them in the backcourt at times, with Jack playing shooting guard. Diener 的缺席讓 Ford 和 Jack 得以熟悉 O'Brien 的系統。Jack 在熱身賽平均上場 29 分鐘，Ford 27 分鐘。 O'Brien 有時候也會讓他們兩個在後場搭檔，讓 Jack 打得分後衛的位置。 "I think they appreciate the amount of time they're getting," O'Brien said. "I don't hear either one of them complaining. We really need to have the point guards on board from the standpoint of our tempo and also being the key to the defense at the point. Last year, we struggled keeping the ball in front of us at that position." O'Brien 說：「我認為他們很珍惜他們掙得的上場時間。我沒聽過他們任何一人抱怨。我們真的很需要這些控球後衛，不只是從我們的節奏觀點，同時也是控衛防守的關鍵。去年在那個位置上，我們為了把球留在我們面前花了很大的功夫。」 No D-League O'Brien said he has no desire to send forward Josh McRoberts to the team's NBA Development League affiliate, the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. O'Brien 說他沒有打算把前鋒 Josh McRoberts 送到球隊底下的 NBDL 球隊：Fort Wayne Mad Ants。 "At this point in time, I want Josh to be with us," O'Brien said. "We practice and he's getting a lot of repetition in our system." O'Brien 說：「就目前這個時間點，我希望 Josh 和我們在一起。我們練球，而他在我們的系統中反覆操練。」 The Pacers have yet to send a player to the D-League. 溜馬目前還沒有送球員到發展聯盟。 McRoberts, who spent time in the D-League last year while with Portland, averaged 2.7 points and 2.3 rebounds in six preseason games with the Pacers. McRoberts ，去年在拓荒者都在發展聯盟度過，今年在溜馬六場熱身賽平均 2.7 分 2.3 籃板。 The Pacers have 15 players under contract, but Diener and Mike Dunleavy (knee) are out with injuries and Jamaal Tinsley is waiting to be traded. 溜馬目前有 15 名有約球員，但 Diener 和 Mike Dunleavy (膝傷) 進入傷兵名單，而 Jamaal Tinsley正求售中。 "I'm really a believer in the (D-League)," O'Brien said, "but I think each franchise has to weigh what's best for the individual that has the option of going there. I think he's better off with us." O'Brien 說：「我相信發展聯盟，但我認為每支球隊都該考慮對個人而言什麼是最好的。我認為他和我們在一塊兒會比較好。」 Deal or no deal The Pacers and forward Danny Granger's representative have two days to agree to a contract extension of up to five years. 溜馬和前鋒 Danny Granger 的代表還有兩天可以達成最多五年的續約。 Granger said the sides are talking and it wouldn't surprise him if negotiations went down to the wire. Granger 說目前對話還在進行，而假使交涉陷入僵局他也不會訝異。 If a deal isn't reached this week, Granger will be a restricted free agent after the season, meaning the Pacers can match any offer. 如果本週沒有達成協議，Granger 將在本季結束後成為受限自由球員，意思是溜馬可以跟進任何報價。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.134.86.207
