Two days after No. 10 Iowa State secured a historic win over Alcorn State, they outdid themselves on Saturday. They defeated Big Ten rival and No. 1-ranked Purdue in an 81-58 upset.

The Dallas Mavericks might have found their new point guard going forward in the Cooper Flagg era, and Ryan Nembhard showed why with a record-setting night in a win vs. the Miami Heat. The undrafted rookie guard helped the Dallas Mavericks rookie group make a statement, becoming the first player in the modern draft era […]

The Indiana Pacers have been playing better basketball as of late, and it’s a credit to the fact that the team is at least getting a bit healthier. Among those who’ve returned after a bit of a lengthy absence is backup point guard TJ McConnell, who’s been contributing quite well for this shorthanded Pacers squad. […]

Indiana needed someone to steady a season that has been defined by injuries, close losses, and frustration.

Siakam drilled a fading jumper with one-tenth of a second left to lift Indiana to a 103-101 win over the Chicago […]

Jay Huff referenced his surname — and love for Harry Potter — during a recent press conference. Huff was seen wearing a Hufflepuff sweatshirt following the Indiana Pacers’ winning 101-103 against the Chicago Bulls on Nov. 29. “Jay Huff in his Hufflepuff shirt postgame,” Forbes Sports reporter Tony East wrote on X. “His wife bought […]

Pascal Siakam came through in the clutch as he knocked down a game-winning shot in the Indiana Pacers’ 103-101 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night. Siakam is going through the 10th year of his NBA career, his third with the Pacers. He has been the top scoring option as the team is going […]

Brandon Ingram did not just hit a game-winner. He broke down exactly why it was there and why Pascal Siakam never really had a chance.

From a fairy-tale run to the NBA Finals last year to a 2–15 stumble without Tyrese Haliburton, the Indiana Pacers now find themselves searching for any spark they can get. That search has led them back to a familiar name. League chatter says the Pacers are renewing their trade pursuit of guard Keon Ellis, with […]

There is still no timetable for the return of Tyrese Haliburton with the Indiana Pacers, as he continues to recover from an Achilles injury. But it is clear that he is on the right path. While he cannot see action, Haliburton has been quite the cheerleader for the Pacers, even though they have been struggling. […]

The big man came off the bench and delivered a performance that stamped his name into Pacers franchise history. StatMuse took to its official X (formerly known as […]

The mark of a successful team is one that has a sturdy enough foundation to withstand the temporary loss of their best players. The scorching-hot Detroit Pistons are proving that they are not defined solely by their star duo, earning victories over both the Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers without guard Cade Cunningham and center […]

It is hard to imagine the Indiana Pacers as a team that just made the NBA Finals some months ago based on the way they are performing on the court in the 2025-26 NBA season. Thanks in large part to an injury-riddled roster, the reigning Eastern Conference champions only have a win to show through […]

Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle offered a pair of encouraging yet cautious injury updates Saturday that will shape the franchise’s short-term rotation and playoff hopes. Carlisle said Aaron Nesmith will likely miss “at least four weeks” after suffering a left-knee sprain in Thursday’s loss at Phoenix, but he stressed the injury does not appear to […]

Rick Carlisle and the Indiana Pacers recevied good and bad news, regarding Aaron Nesmith’s knee injury, adding to a laundry list of sorts for the shorthanded defending Eastern Conference champions.

Grayson Allen left Thursday night’s game against the Indiana Pacers after colliding with a defender and was ruled out with a right quad contusion, Suns reporter Amanda Pflugrad said.

The Indiana Pacers were just one win away from being crowned NBA champions last season.

Unfortunately, the All-Star point guard tore his Achilles tendon in Game 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The […]

Some help is on the way for the Indiana Pacers for their Tuesday night matchup against the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City. Veteran point guard TJ McConnell is suiting up for his first game in the 2025-26 NBA season — and first since the Pacers made it to the 2025 NBA Finals — as […]

There is no other way to say it: The Indiana Pacers are struggling. With their badly depleted lineup, the Pacers have only won one game this season, and seemingly, things are not getting any better. The Pacers fell to 1-7 after losing to the previously winless Brooklyn Nets, 112-103, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Wednesday. It […]

The Indiana Pacers turned plenty of heads already this season after signing Mac McClung. However, the three-time NBA dunk contest champion’s time with the club was short-lived, as the front office just waived him in favor of another player. Reports indicate that the Pacers released McClung on Thursday, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. The […]

The Brooklyn Nets were the NBA’s only winless team entering Wednesday’s road matchup with the Indiana Pacers. With Jordi Fernandez’s squad largely non-competitive during a 0-7 start, some began to speculate whether the Nets could beat their NBA-record 0-18 start set during the 2009-10 season. Brooklyn ended that conversation on Wednesday, securing a 112-103 win […]

The Indiana Pacers have gotten off to a rough start to the 2025-26 NBA season, currently sitting at 1-6 after a heartbreaking loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night.

Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner was serenaded by boos in his first return to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Monday, as they faced off against his former team, the Indiana Pacers. Like their past battles, the game went down to the wire. The Bucks escaped with the win, 117-115, after Giannis Antetokounmpo sank the walk-off game-winner. Turner […]

Teams need a lot of luck on their way to making it to the NBA Finals. The Indiana Pacers were certainly last season’s team of fate — only for everything to come undone in Game 7 of the NBA Finals after Tyrese Haliburton tore his Achilles in the first quarter of their eventual defeat to […]

The 2025-26 Indiana Pacers roster has nowhere near the quality they had to end the 2024-25 campaign. Tyrese Haliburton was already out to begin the year, making it rather difficult for them to pose much of a threat to begin with, but the Pacers have endured a deluge of injury woes that may already kill […]

The Milwaukee Bucks shocked the NBA world in the offseason when they made not one, but two surprising moves. The first was choosing to waive Damian Lillard, and the second was signing big man Myles Turner in free agency. The Myles Turner move was probably most shocking considering how the former lottery pick had endeared […]

Rick Carlisle expressed immense relief after the Indiana Pacers stunned the Golden State Warriors 114-109 on Saturday night. Going into the matchup, Indiana had an 0-5 record.

The Indiana Pacers have suffered a recent bout of injury issues lately, with five key rotation players currently sidelined with various ailments.

While the Indiana Pacers have looked scary since the Oklahoma City Thunder loss in the regular season opener, it won’t stop Pascal Siakam from hilariously recreating a movie scene for Halloween. Despite the Pacers dealing with injuries on the court, the bond within the team is strong off the court as Johnny Furphy joined Siakam […]

Social media has a way of twisting the narratives around sports. Yesterday, Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner went viral after some of his podcast comments went viral.

After his surprise departure from the 2025 Eastern Conference champions, fans were quick to throw hate […]

The Indiana Pacers made a surprising roster move this week when they cut former No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman and signed reigning dunk contest champion Mac McClung to a multi-year contract.

On Monday, the Indiana Pacers dropped to 0-3 on the young 2025 NBA season with a narrow road loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
