Quiet in return

The Indiana Pacers got slaughtered by the Boston Celtics on Friday night. It was the second night of a back-to-back, and it showed. They lost the game 142-105. There was never a time when it was close. The lack of rest definitely hurt the team after losing a game to Oklahoma City on Thursday night.

Toppin (ankle) is available to play Tuesday against the Bucks, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports. Toppin will be returning from a two-game absence, and there's no word of any restrictions.
