Pacers' Rakeem Christmas: Inactive in Thursday's loss

Christmas (coach's decision) was inactive for the Pacers' 140-112 loss to the Nuggets on Thursday.

Analysis:

The Pacers recalled Christmas from the D-League more than three weeks ago, but he's been a regular fixture on the inactive list, having failed to make a single appearance since his promotion. The 25-year-old has made only four appearances over his two seasons as a member of the 15-man roster.
