INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Pacers will honor their late co-owner Mel Simon with a jersey-retirement ceremony before Friday’s game against the Washington Wizards.
The Pacers said Wednesday the banner will bear Mel Simon’s name, but not a number. It will hang alongside the retired jerseys of former players Reggie Miller, Mel Daniels, Roger Brown and George McGinnis, and ex-coach Bobby “Slick” Leonard.
Simon, who died in September the age of 82, bought the woebegone franchise with his brother, Herb, in 1983.
