T.J. Ford has started 2 games this season for the Pacers but he is only averaging 22.0 minutes, 5.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steal per game. Ford has been losing a lot of playing time to Earl Watson so far this season. Watson has played in both games for the Pacers off the bench this season and he is averaging 25.5 minutes, 11.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steal per game. Ford is falling pretty far in Coach O’Brien’s eyes if he is looking to play Watson more than him. Hopefully Ford gets his act together soon because the Pacers are a better basketball team when he’s focused and running the offense.

The Pacers will be without back up center Jeff Foster for a couple of weeks due to a high ankle sprain. Foster has played in 2 games (0 starts) for the Pacers so far this season and he has averaged 9.5 minutes, 1.0 point, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. He will be replaced by Solomon Jones who has played pretty well so far this season for the Pacers. He has played in 2 games (0 starts) for the Pacers this season and he has averaged 24.5 minutes, 7.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.0 blocked shots. Jones should do a good job while Foster is out of action.
