Pacers' Latest News Gives More Reason for Tyrese Haliburton Excitement
Indiana Pacers fans have been given another reason to get excited about Tyrese Haliburton.
The Indiana Pacers are eagerly anticipating the start of the 2026-27 NBA season, just a month away on October 21 against the New Orleans Pelicans. Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton, who missed the previous season due to a torn Achilles suffered during the NBA Finals, is back to full health and ready to play. The Pacers have reason to be excited about Haliburton's return, with NBA insider Brett Siegel reporting that he looks better than ever.
With a strong core team returning from last year's Finals, Indiana is poised to potentially become an NBA Finals contender again. Key players like Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Obi Toppin, and T.J. McConnell will be back, while Kevin Pritchard's front office made a significant trade last year to acquire center Ivica Zubac from the Los Angeles Clippers.
In free agency, the Pacers added veteran wing Kelly Oubre Jr. to replace Bennedict Mathurin. Zubac will replace Myles Turner, and Oubre will take the spot of Mathurin. Both new additions have the potential to be upgrades over Indiana's roster from two years ago. After a disappointing 19-63 season last year, the Pacers are eager to see Haliburton's return and the impact of the fresh faces on the court.
