Sloan received a DNP-CD Thursday as the Pacers lost to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis:
Rodney Stuckey started at point guard, and Chris Copeland saw time at shooting guard while Sloan fell out of the rotation. However, C.J. Watson, C.J. Miles and Copeland combined to shoot just 6-for-29 in the contest. In 18 starts this season, Sloan was averaging 11.3 points, five assists and 4.2 rebounds but was shooting just 37.9 percent from the floor. The poor performances elsewhere on the Pacers could easily move Sloan back into the rotation again.
