201 Delaware St, Indianapolis, IN 46204 • Indiana Pacers training facility.
Asmiah sat in a corner as far away as physically possible from stray basketballs. Currently, she was editing pictures she'd just taken of the team in practice. With the first play-in game only a day away, Asmiah made sure to capture the raw emotions that occupied each player and coach. More than satisfied with her work, she uploads the finished products to the social media team's online drive.
Domantas dribbles the ball up to Asmiah trying to showcase otherworldly handles he clearly doesn't possess. Finally reaching her, he squats to the left of her peeking at her laptop screen.
"Do I look good?" Domantas questions looking over the multiple pictures on her screen.
Asmiah smiles opening up a couple of pictures she got of him, "Of course, you always look good baby."
"Yeah, I know." Domantas' conceited comment provokes a frivolous eye roll from Asmiah.
Before the couple could continue their conversation, an ear-piercing whistle sounds from the other side of the courts. Following was a loud voice belonging to coach Bjorkgren, "Talking to your girlfriend won't get us into the playoffs, Sabonis! Get back to your drills!"
Domantas rolls his eyes mimicking the bald man, much to Asmiah's amusement. Asmiah watches as Domantas ran catching a glimpse of the dirty look Bjorkgren was giving her. Since he started working for the Pacers, Asmiah didn't like him. He's always left a bad taste in her mouth with his view on coaching. What he said was final and he took zero criticism from his players, Asmiah didn't like that one bit. Neither did most of the players, they all wanted Nikita to be promoted. She brought it all to the table, defence, offence and player-coach chemistry. Her coaching elevated their defence making nearly perfect use of the defensive personnel.
On the other side of the court, Nikita watches a Myles Turner Goga Bitadze 1v1 game taking short mental notes. Her attention would sometimes gets taken away by Caris doing shooting drills directly across from her. She still hadn't told him about her being pregnant. Going on two months, she was beyond happy not to be showing.
Nikita's Confessional: “It's been two days since I had the talk with Didi and I still have no idea how to tell Caris- well, I know how to tell him. I just don't want to dial back during the play-in and possibly the playoffs. I'll tell him once we're eliminated. Praying we make it to the finals...and they introduce a "best of 201" series.”
Caris knew. Earlier, Asmiah had obtusely told him Nikita was pregnant. He bumped into Asmiah in her office while looking for Domantas. The two saw each other every day but never spoke outside of "hey", by reason of their never speaking, Asmiah was uncharacteristically awkward around him. In an attempt to fill an awkward silence, Asmiah congratulated him on his future child adding that she hoped for a little girl. Finding out that his wife was pregnant from her friend and not her herself surely infuriated him.
