Team doctors confirmed the news this morning:

"Jaden’s condition has progressed to the point where continued play could risk permanent damage. He’ll be unavailable for the Finals."

This is a devastating blow for the Pacers, who now head into their third straight Finals without their emotional leader and elite two-way threat.

Jaden released a heartfelt message to fans just moments ago:

“I gave it everything I had to get us here. I made peace with this. My team’s got this. I believe in them. Verdant… finish what we started.”

Verdant will now lead the Pacers into battle against a surging Bucks squad led by Collin, who’s been on an MVP-level tear this postseason.

Lyon Skies, 4x MVP, weighed in on the latest podcast:

“This changes everything. No Jaden? Verdant’s gotta be legendary for four straight games. Collin smells blood now.”

Game 1 is next. The storylines? Legendary.
Jaden out. Collin locked in. Verdant’s legacy on the line.
