The Indiana Pacers, led by Rick Fuson, its chief operations officer, want the All-Star Game.

A league official confirmed Saturday that the Indianapolis delegation is in Toronto to observe how that city is operating the many events with the NBA. The official also said that 2018 is the earliest year for which the Pacers could make a bid. Fuson said it’s unclear if the Pacers will bid for 2018 or for a subsequent year. What is clear is that several people with knowledge of the Pacers’ trip this weekend believe the team will submit a bid in the next few months.
