The Indiana Pacers are out of playoff contention this year. With a 35-47 overall season record, the Pacers are in the 11th position in the Eastern Conference, preparing for the next year?s season.

Though the players seem to be having fun, fans decided to have some fun of their own by trolling the team.
The Indiana Pacers had a good start to the season but the big giants of the Eastern Conference finally took over. Now, as the Pacers prepare to revamp for the next season, players decided to prank one another to kill time.

The players of the Indiana Pacers team ended up pulling a prank on their Arizona State rookie, Benedict Mathurin. Mathurin has been a key part of the Pacers team and it seems like this was his teammates’ way to display their affection for him.
Pacers center Myles Turner uploaded a video on his Instagram stories which were then shared once again by ?Bleacher Report? on Twitter. In the video, Indiana players could be seen laughing at Mathurin in the parking lot.
Players of the Pacers team decided to wrap Benedict Mathurin’s car in plastic. Mathurin could be seen struggling to get his car out of plastic while others laughed watching him struggle. Turner, at the end of the video, said, ?It?s one thing I don?t play about is my doughnuts.?
Turner?s comments at the end of the video must be referring to something that happened between him and Mathurin. And it seems like Turner might be the mastermind behind the prank.
