Game Rewind: Pacers 74, Orlando Blue 98 (Summer League)

The Pacers wrapped up the Orlando Summer League on Friday afternoon, falling to the Orlando Blue team, 98-74. Indiana had defeated the Magic's Blue squad on Thursday, but had just seven available players on Friday as several players joined other franchises for the start of the Las Vegas Summer League.

First-round draft pick Myles Turner was held out of Friday's contest to allow him to rest, but second-round pick Joe Young started once again at point guard. For the second straight game, Young scored 28 points. He logged 34:46, connecting on 11-of-23 shots from the field.

After sitting out the Pacers' first game in Orlando due to illness, Young averaged 22.5 points over the final four Summer League contests, shooting 50.8 percent from the field and 45 percent from 3-point range.
