NBA India Games 2019: Indiana Pacers vs Sacramento Kings - 3 Talking points from Game 1

#2 TJ Warren adds another bright spot to the Indiana roster until Oladipo returns

TJ Warren averaged 18 ppg last year in Pheonix.

The Phoenix Suns traded TJ Warren to Indiana in June of 2019. The Pacers' latest addition is 25-year-old Warren is beginning to pay dividends sooner than they'd have expected. The former Suns guard was impressive throughout the 33 minutes he spent on the court, coming up with gritty crunch plays down the stretch for his team.

Overall, he shot a decent 11-of-18 from the field and a mind-boggling five out of six on threes - one of which sent the game into overtime - to finish with a game-high total of 30 points. He also pulled down 5 rebounds and recorded a steal, while committing just one turnover.

Warren has been showing signs of brilliance ever since his time with Booker and the Suns. Now that he finds himself on a deep roster, in serious contention of a postseason berth, his skills will mean a lot more than they ever have.

Coming to his aid for Sabonis and Turner, who both ended the game with convincing double-doubles.
