Indiana Pacers Wiretap

Dallas Covets Reggie

No way of knowing how serious it is yet, but Reggie Miller could be a candidate for the Mavericks' vacant roster spot.

Owner Mark Cuban brought up Miller's name before Monday's game against the Hawks. The former Indiana Pacers star is the No. 1 3-point shooter in NBA history. He retired after the 2004-05 season, but remains in excellent physical shape.

Artest Skips Indy Homecoming

Sacramento forward Ron Artest missed the Kings' game Sunday night against the Indiana Pacers, his former team.

Artest was not with the team for personal reasons, a team spokesman said without elaborating. Artest was not listed on the injury report.

Artest was disliked by Indiana fans for his role in the brawl between Pacers players and Pistons fans two seasons ago and for his public trade request last season.

In his return to Conseco Fieldhouse as a King last season, Artest scored 18 points, but shot 6-for-22 from the field, including 2-for-14 in the second half, in a 98-93 loss. Pacers fans booed him loudly every time he touched the ball.
