Social Round-Up: Fever Games, Fishing Trips, and 2K Ratings

We're officially less than a month away from the start of training camp. Before you know it, the 2015-16 NBA season will be well underway.

In the meantime, Pacers players have been enjoying the last few days of summer. Here's a look at what some of them have been up to in recent weeks, according to their posts on Twitter and Instagram.

Rookie Rakeem Christmas had courtside seats for Friday's Indiana Fever game. Fellow rookie Myles Turner sat just a few seats away, and both players spent all of halftime signing autographs and taking selfies with young fans:

They weren't the only players who supported the Fever recently. C.J. Miles also took in a game earlier in the week:

Turner's been pretty active lately in the local community. In partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, he spent some time hanging out and playing video games with Cody Bevelheimer:

Fellow newcomer Glenn Robinson III has also been getting involved with worthy causes around town. GR3 recently participated in the Plane Pull and 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament to benefit Special Olympics Indiana. He may have also found a second career path, judging from a photo he snapped with the High Octane Drumline:

It is very well-documented at this point that fishing is one of the favorite pastimes for most of the Pacers' roster. While several players have posted pictures of their latest catches throughout the summer, George Hill appears to have outdone them all on a recent deep-sea fishing trip:

Ian Mahinmi seems more than ready for training camp to get started:

The start of a new season also means a highly anticipated video game release is just around the corner. NBA 2K16 is scheduled to drop on Sept. 29, the same day the Pacers open training camp. Pacers players C.J. Miles and Glenn Robinson III recently gave fans a sneak peak of their player ratings for this year's version of the game:
