This may be Indiana’s way of waving the white flag at the end of a tough season where they are well out of any play-in contention at 13th place in the Eastern Conference. Brogdon has been in and out of the lineup all season with the Achilles injury and it would not be a surprise to see him shut down for the season if it’s something that continues to linger.
Brogdon has averaged 19.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game in 36 starts this season. With him out of the starting lineup, expect Terry Taylor to slot into the starting lineup and see an uptick in both minutes and usage.
