WOLF RETIRES AFTER 5 SEASONS
October 6, 2022
Indianapolis – Quite simply, Bryan Colon AKA WoLF is “Mr. Pacers Gaming.”
The first draft pick (13th overall) in team history back in 2018, he has played in EVERY regular-season 5v5 game in Pacers Gaming annals – 129 total! This year he played in 93 of the team’s 95 3v3 games.
So, in total, he has played in 222 of a possible 224 games – 99% of ALL the Pacers Gaming games every played!
Yep, he’s “Mr. Pacers Gaming”.
And, did he know how to finish his career? In his last five games – ALL 3v3 playoff games BTW – he was a combined 19 of 19 from the field!!!!
Pacers Gaming fans will always remember him for the incredible career records and marks he set during his time in Indiana but more importantly the fans will remember how he embraced the Hoosier state and how the state embraced the kid from Queens.
Most memorable will always be July 2, 2022. On that night, in downtown Indianapolis of all places – at the Pavilion at Pan Am, the Pacers Gaming squad concluded a remarkable and extraordinary run through THE SWITCH OPEN TOURNAMENT championship, winning the title in convincing fashion, 4-1 over Detroit. The Pacers were 15-1 in tournament games played in Indy that week; it was an historical display of dominance.
But what most stands out, is the celebration afterwards when the league awarded the team its championship trophy and accepting on behalf of the Pacers franchise was…the kid from Queens, who five years before was selected as the cornerstone of the organization. He accepted the trophy with tears of joy in his eyes.
The moment we drafted him 5 seasons ago, @WoLF74 has embodied our values and culture here at Pacers Sports & Entertainment. We couldn't have asked for a better person and player to represent this franchise.
Thank you, WoLF. We look forward to supporting you in your next chapter! pic.twitter.com/QcLQd7DVSw
