Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is showing solidarity with the Indiana Pacers as the NBA Playoffs heat up.

Richardson took part in his media availability on Wednesday while wearing a Tyrese Haliburton jersey. The quarterback expressed confidence that the Pacers would still overcome the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals despite losing Game 1 in overtime.

Obviously, the Colts would love for the Pacers to continue their deep playoff run. They would also love to ride some of the momentum the Pacers might be generating for the city and its sports teams, so Richardson might as well latch on.

The Pacers would probably be 1-0 up in the series if not for one coaching decision. Perhaps Richardson has some thoughts on that himself.
