Tyrese Haliburton is anticipated to return to the Indiana Pacers for the upcoming 2026-27 season after being sidelined for the entirety of the 2025-26 campaign due to a torn Achilles.
Despite Haliburton's absence last season, which saw the Pacers finish with a 19-63 record, an insider has expressed an optimistic outlook, predicting the team could secure 48 to 50 wins in the 2026-27 regular season.
The Pacers have actively re-tooled their roster, notably trading Bennedict Mathurin for Ivica Zubac and adding Larry Nance Jr. and Kelly Oubre in free agency. This strategic maneuvering aims to position the team for a strong playoff push, similar to their previous conference finals appearances.
