Davis requested a release from the lowly Hornets in order to sign with a playoff team, and the Indiana Pacers certainly are interested. According to Davis' agent James Wells the Pacers are the forward's first choice, and Mark Monteith of the Indianapolis Star reports that he could sign by Tuesday. However, the Pacers are not the only team interested in his services with Detroit and San Antonio also are trying to lure the 14-year veteran. "He's really fond of Indiana," said Wells, who acknowledged the Pacers' mutual interest. "It's a class organization and he had a good run when he was there. "We just need to sit down and make a decision." He was traded from Golden State to New Orleans on Thursday in the deal that sent Hornets guard Baron Davis to the Warriors.

While Pacers officials are not ready to admit defeat just yet, with only 27 games remaining in the season they do acknowledge that Bender is not close to returning. Bender has gone on and off the injured list throughout the season, but has been on it since Feb. 4. All that's known for sure now is that he won't come back until he's fully healed. "We're going to forget about this coming-in and going-out stuff," team president Larry Bird said. "It's a distraction to the team." Bender is equally determined to bring closure to the series of leg injuries that have haunted him. "I want to resolve it," he said. "I want to get it over with. Forever." Just when that will happen, however, remains a mystery. Bender met with physical therapist Dan Dyrek in New York on Saturday before the Pacers played the Knicks. "He's continuing to make improvements, but I wouldn't say there's any short-term possibility of him being activated," coach Rick Carlisle said. "It's more of a long-range thing. If he keeps doing well, then it's possible before the end of the season we can activate him." Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Pacers Feb 2005 Archive
