Indy’s Owen Flores stopped 26 shots and picked up a roughing penalty in the shutout win.\u00a0 Mike Van Unen opened the scoring 4:35 into the first period with a goal from Tyler Paquette and Owen Robinson. The goal came seconds after Robinson left the penalty box.\u00a0 The Fuel made it 2-0 on a power play goal from Sahil Panwar at 12:49 before Matt Petgrave made it 3-0 with a second power play goal at 16:57.\u00a0 After a scoreless second period, Petgrave scored his second of the night, to go with an assist on Panwar’s goal, to make it 4-0 with seven minutes to play. Jordan Martin wrapped up the scoring with a goal from Nick Grima and Dustin Manz at 16:25. The Fuel are back in action this evening hosting the Kalamazoo Wings at 7 p.m. at the Fishers Event Center. Indy is celebrating the birthday of its mascot, “Nitro,” at Saturday’s game, including special jerseys for the contest.\u00a0 The Fuel and Wings will meet again Sunday in Kalamazoo to wrap up the weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana Pacers Drop Their 11th Straight Game <\/strong> De\u2019Aaron Fox scored 24 points and the San Antonio Spurs won their first game since Victor Wembanyama injured his left knee, beating the Indiana 123-113 on Friday night for the Pacers\u2019 11th straight loss. Wembanyama hyperextended his knee Wednesday night in a home victory over New York. An MRI showed no ligament damage and the 7-foot-4 center stayed in San Antonio to rehabilitate the injury. Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said Wembanyama is day-to-day but wouldn\u2019t rule out the possibility he could play against Portland on Saturday night in San Antonio. The Spurs are 10-3 with Wembanyama doesn\u2019t play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dylan Harper added 22 points for the Spurs, and Stephon Castle had 19. Pascal Siakam led Indiana with 23 points and 10 rebounds.

Indiana will be back in action on Sunday when they travel to Orlando to face the Magic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phillip Rivers 243-Game Start Streak is over as Riley Leonard will make his first Career Start for the Indianapolis Colts <\/strong> Philip Rivers\u2019 long, decorated run is over. It\u2019s Riley Leonard\u2019s turn to lead the Indianapolis Colts. When the rookie quarterback makes his first career start Sunday at Houston, he\u2019ll be backed up by Seth Henigan, who was signed to the practice squad this week. Rivers, 44 and in his 18th<\/sup>\u00a0and final season, will make the trip but likely won\u2019t be in uniform and will serve as a sideline advisor to Leonard during the game. \u201cWe\u2019ll see if Philip will be up if something happens,\u2019\u2019 Shane Steichen said Friday. \u201cRight now, it\u2019s those two.\u2019\u2019 The decision to transition from Rivers to Leonard was made on Tuesday and Rivers quickly adjusted. He\u2019s stayed heavily involved during quarterback meetings and looked on during practice while Leonard, Henigan and Anthony Richardson Sr. have thrown during positional drills and team sessions. Richardson remains on the injured reserve list following surgery to repair a fractured right orbital and will not be activated. History will show Leonard\u2019s first career start \u2013 he\u2019ll be just the 13th<\/sup>\u00a0rookie in Colts\u2019 history to start a game \u2013 ends Rivers\u2019 streak of consecutive starts at 243. That\u2019s second all-time to Brett Favre\u2019s streak of 297.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe kind of stepped down and let me take this last game himself,\u2019\u2019 Leonard said. \u201cBut super thankful for everything he\u2019s done for me. Obviously, a close friend of mine, mentor, all the above.\u2019\u2019 As much as Rivers still aches to play, he understood the rationale of stepping back now that the Colts\u2019 playoff fate has been sealed. They\u2019ve lost six straight and seven of their last eight and sit at 8-8. \u201cIt just made the most sense,\u2019\u2019 Rivers said, adding, \u201cI\u2019ll help (Leonard) in any way possible. I told him that. Want to be there to help him prepare throughout the week and any way I can assist on game day. Obviously, our offensive staff\u2019s a heckuva group and you can almost get too much coaching, but hopefully I can be there for him to lean on as needed.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Texans present a difficult challenge for a veteran quarterback, and that rises exponentially with a rookie making his first start. They rank No. 1 in the NFL in fewest yards allowed (272.4) and points (16.6). Danielle Hunter ranks 4th<\/sup>\u00a0in the league with 14 sacks to go along with 22 quarterback hits and 14 tackles for loss, while Will Anderson Jr. has 12 sacks, 23 QB hits and 19 tackles for loss. It will be up to Steichen and coordinator Jim Bob Cooter to give Leonard a game plan that allows him to run the offense while not exposing him to Houston\u2019s disruptive defense. \u201cI think managing the game, completions, not making bad plays worse,\u2019\u2019 Steichen said. \u201cThat\u2019s a big part of it as a rookie. Going out there and moving the football. I don\u2019t want to complicate it too much more than it is. It\u2019s getting completions, being good in the run game. When you\u2019ve got shots and they\u2019re there, take \u2018em. Be smart with the football.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Center Tanor Bortolini was cleared by an independent neurologist, which was the final step in the NFL\u2019s concussion protocol. He missed last Sunday\u2019s loss to Jacksonville with a concussion. Steichen ruled out cornerback Sauce Gardner, who\u2019s dealing with a strained left calf, and tight end Will Mallory, who suffered a lung injury against the Jaguars. Steichen said DeForest Buckner underwent successful surgery this week to address a herniated disc in his neck that was pressing on a nerve. \u201cI know that he\u2019s going to have some recovery time,\u2019\u2019 Steichen said. \u201cWe plan on him being back.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
