The Pacers will be wearing their Flo-Jo uniforms Wednesday night in Memphis for their season finale against the Grizzlies (9:30 p.m. ET, TNT). Because they are not the team’s standard uniform, the move had to be approved by the league office — and it was, VigilantSports.com has learned.
The players prefer them, the fans love them, and one stat is telling: They are 7-0 this season in their 1990s uniform.

The Pacers (38-43) are coming off a 99-95 double-overtime win over the Washington Wizards Tuesday night. A win in Memphis, against a team has dropped two straight games and three of five, or a Brooklyn loss (against Orlando) and the Pacers are in the postseason for the fifth consecutive year.
The team confirmed the decision early Wednesday afternoon.
