The voice of the Indiana Pacers joins Pacers Post Up! ️Chris Denari, the NSMA’s 2025 Indiana Sportscaster of the Year, joins Brad and Ryan for a wide-ranging preview of the 2026-27 Pacers season. Chris takes us inside the move to DAZN and what Pacers fans can expect from the team’s new broadcast home before diving into a fascinating offseason in Indiana. We talk about the addition of Kelly Oubre Jr., what’s next for Jarace Walker, the continued rehab and development of Johnny Furphy, and which young Pacers could be ready to take another step. Then we get into one of the biggest changes of all: Ivica Zubac. How will a true big man fit alongside Pascal Siakam and a returning Tyrese Haliburton? Could Zubac unlock something new for Indiana — and how much will Rick Carlisle actually change the fast-paced style that has defined this team? Finally, we have some fun with Chris: the future of “SMOTHERED CHICKEN!”, his celebrity look-alike, and what it was like experiencing the Pacers incredible Finals run from an entirely different perspective — as a fan watching the national broadcasts rather than calling the games himself. An awesome conversation about where the Pacers have been, where they’re headed, and a new era of Pacers basketball with the man who has had a front-row seat for it all. A huge honor to have Chris Denari join The Pacers Post Up!
