Pacers stars take over WISH-TV live at Colts game on 'Countdown to Kickoff'
The Indianapolis Colts were back in Lucas Oil Stadium Sunday to host the Los Angeles Rams for the second home game of the season. The Colts went into the game in first place of the AFC South with a 2-1 record — the best start to a season since 2020. The Indiana Pacers helped kick off the festivities as star point guard Tyrese Haliburton and center Myles Turner joined the WISH-TV pregame show, 'Countdown to Kickoff' to give their predictions for the game.

Yahoo Sports Commentary
Walker has one of the most NBA-ready bodies in this draft class with his 6-8, 250-pound frame. He's a hybrid 4 who has shown potential in extending his game outside the key. Walker's defensive versatility and the way he can guard the switch solidified himself as a top-10 prospect, and he'll likely see early rotational minutes during his rookie season.

Yahoo Sports Commentary
Sheppard shot lights out during his senior season at Belmont, hitting 41.5% from deep and averaging 18.8 points. He played at a high level against Power 5 prospects at the NBA Draft Combine and more than held his own. Sheppard is a player who can come in right away and give productive minutes on both ends of the court. Still just 21 years old as a college senior, Sheppard has the room for growth and experience to impact the Pacers right away.
