Hauth faces two charges of obstruction of justice, one charge of obstructing a public officer, and a charge of breach of trust by a public official.

Sixers win, Pacers and Magic both lose, so we have a 3-way tie in the 5-6-7 seeds going into the final day of the season. Still possible Indy could fall into the play-in, miss the playoffs and owe the Raptors a lottery pick (it’s top-3 protected, though).
