Pacers president apologizes as Draft Lottery gambit backfires, but he has nothing to be sorry about

Indiana Pacers president Kevin Pritchard publicly apologized to fans after the team's NBA Draft Lottery strategy backfired, resulting in the Pacers losing their draft pick to the Los Angeles Clippers. The pick was forfeited on Sunday as a consequence of the risk Pritchard had chosen to take. Despite the outcome, some observers argue Pritchard has little to apologize for, as the move was a calculated gamble.
