The Pacers' Stephen Jackson, Marquis Daniels, and Jamaal Tinsley met with league security officals Monday to talk about their role in an incident that took place outside an Indianapolis strip club on October 6th.
"They just wanted to talk to us about the situation," said Jackson, who faces felony charges as a result of the events that occurred outside Club Rio at 3 a.m.
All three players re-joined the team late Monday night in South Carolina for their game against the Bobcats on Tuesday.
Guard Jimmie Hunter and forward Sean Lampley were waived by the Pacers on Friday.
By October 30th, the Pacers will have to trim their roster down to 15 from their current level of 17.
A federal court jury in Michigan dismissed a lawsuit against Jermaine O'Neal and the Indiana Pacers, the former All-Star confirmmed on Thursday.
The defense presented evidence that Charles Haddad flew to Las Vegas the day after the brawl and had been a regular visitor to the city, the Detroit News reported.
Stephen Jackson claims he was simply trying to protect his teammates when he fired a gun in the air outside a strip club.
"I?m in a situation now where people thought I acted recklessly, when I know I didn?t," Jackson said Saturday night.
"Over due time the courts will know that," he said. "We?ll be able to see I wasn?t trying to hurt anybody. I had no intentions of hurting anybody. I was just making sure me and my teammates were safe. I?m the one who got hit by the car."
Pacers guard Stephen Jackson, who missed the team's opening preseason game after he was involved in a fight outside an Indianapolis strip club last week, made his first appearance for the Pacers this preseason.
Coming off the bench, Jackson was booed several times by the home crowd as the Pacers lost to the Utah Jazz.
Utah guard Derek Fisher was taken to a hospital for X-rays after he fell during the first quarter of the Jazz's preseason game against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night.
Fisher drove to the basket and collided with Indiana forward Jermaine O'Neal while attempting a shot with 7:09 left in the quarter. Fisher, who was whistled for an offensive foul, hit his back and head on the floor.
He remained down for several minutes before being helped to the Jazz locker room. Jazz spokeswoman Cindy Edman said Fisher was taken to the hospital for additional X-rays of his pelvis after X-rays at Conseco Fieldhouse were unclear.
A man, who is a friend of Pacers star Jermaine O'Neal, was arrested late Friday night on charges of marijuana possession. O'Neal claimed to have nothing to do with the incident, and that he loaned his SUV to the man because he thought he needed it.
The incident, although not directly involving O'Neal, is the latest in a long line of trouble in Indiana.
Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said Stephen Jackson might play in Saturday's home preseason game against Utah, depending on how well his injuries from the fight heal.
Jackson had stitches in his lip and other scrapes and bruises, most of which happened when he was hit by a car during the mayhem, prosecutors said.
Indiana Pacer point guard Orien Greene is expected to be out three weeks with a broken left pinkie, the team said today.
The injury happened in Wednesday night's preseason game against New Jersey. It's uncertain how Greene's injury will affect his chances to make the Pacers' roster.
