INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Tyler Hansbrough scored 13 points in his pro
debut to help the Indiana Pacers beat the Washington Wizards 102-86
on Friday night.
Hansbrough, the first-round draft pick from North Carolina,
missed the preseason and the first four regular-season games with a
right shin injury.
Danny Granger scored 22 points and T.J. Ford added 18 points and
10 rebounds for the Pacers, who have won two straight.
Caron Butler led the Wizards with 24 points and 12 rebounds, and
Brendan Haywood had nine points and 19 rebounds. Gilbert Arenas,
who had averaged 28 points, managed 13 and took only 10 shots.
The Pacers raised a banner honoring late co-owner Mel Simon
before the game. He died in September at age 82.
