Slow Start, New Players, And Major Recoveries Among Challenges Pacers Ready To Face
The Indiana Pacers won't have it easy as they bounce back from a 19-win season. But they believe they can get back to the NBA Finals.
The Indiana Pacers are gearing up for the upcoming 2026-27 season, a year after the departure of star player Tyrese Haliburton due to a torn Achilles tendon. With many other injuries and a challenging offseason, the Pacers finished last season with a disappointing 19-63 record, their worst in franchise history. Haliburton, however, is reportedly ready to return to the team, signaling a significant improvement in the roster's health.
The Pacers are optimistic about the season, as they believe their competitive form will return with their complete lineup. They will be facing a tough early-season schedule, with new additions like Ivica Zubac needing time to adjust. Regardless, the team is excited to play and potentially win again.
