After a dream 2024-25 campaign that saw the Indiana Pacers come to within one win away of winning their first NBA title in franchise history, one would have thought that this would be the start of a dominant run for the league’s fastest-rising team. However, Tyrese Haliburton’s Achilles tear has made life difficult for Indiana […]

Trade conversations across the league continue to accelerate, and the Indiana Pacers have positioned themselves among the teams evaluating frontcourt upgrades. The Pacers, still seeking a long-term center after losing Myles Turner in free agency, have reportedly checked in with the Los Angeles Clippers regarding a potential deal for veteran center Ivica Zubac. The inquiry […]

Without Tyrese Haliburton, the Indiana Pacers have collapsed into one of the bleakest stories in the league, and every update on his injury return now feels like lifeline more than headline. They sit at 6–18, stranded at No. 14 in the Eastern Conference, eliminated from the NBA Cup, and stripped of the rhythm that once […]

Since emerging onto the scene, Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers has been compared to Chris Paul. Both can control the tempo, involve others, and rise to the occasion. Now that the Los Angeles Clippers have let Chris Paul go following a bitter breakup, Haliburton is weighing in on the saga, per The Numbers on […]

The Indiana Pacers have fallen on hard times throughout the 2025-26 season thus far, and it’s due in large part to the injury absence of Tyrese Haliburton. Haliburton could not have suffered a torn Achilles at a worse possible time, as he sustained that season-ending injury that typically keeps players out for an entire season […]

Trade momentum around the Indiana Pacers has picked up as the franchise evaluates options to reinforce its frontcourt following the departure of Myles Turner in free agency. The Pacers, who reached the NBA Finals last season before falling to the Oklahoma City Thunder in seven games, have been linked to the Dallas Mavericks in their […]

The Indiana Pacers have looked a far cry from the NBA finalists that ran toe to toe with the Oklahoma City Thunder last year. They are currently 14th in the easier Eastern Conference with a 6-18 record and are struggling due to the absence of Tyrese Haliburton and the exit of Myles Turner. However, if […]

While the Indiana Pacers try to stay competitive in the Eastern Conference, they’ll have to continue doing so without star Tyrese Haliburton. The Pacers guard is expected to miss the entire 2025-26 season following an Achilles tear in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals. But that also opened a new door for Haliburton with […]

To say that the 2025-26 season could not have gone any further from plan for the Indiana Pacers would be a massive understatement. The Pacers expected to at least be semi-competitive this season despite Tyrese Haliburton’s Achilles injury that is set to keep him out for the entirety of the ’25-’26 campaign, but they entered […]

Tyrese Haliburton remains out of commission for the Indiana Pacers due to an Achilles injury. While his recovery is on the right track, there’s still no clear timetable for his return. Despite his unfortunate situation, Haliburton has fully supported his teammates, joining them on the bench in nearly every game. He has embraced being an […]

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. At the same time, the Cyclones remain undefeated at 10-0. In the process, Purdue suffered the worst home-court loss ever for a No. […]

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. On Saturday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Pascal Siakam finally delivered the moment the Pacers had been chasing. 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. Ingram’s cold-blooded jumper with 1.9 seconds left lifted the Toronto Raptors to a 97-95 win over the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night, pushing their win streak to nine games and […]

The Indiana Pacers will fly back home with a bitter taste in their mouths after losing to the Toronto Raptors, 97-95, in the NBA Cup at Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday. Brandon Ingram sank the game-winning jumper with 0.6 seconds remaining to give the Raptors their ninth straight win, improving to 14-5. The Pacers, meanwhile, dropped […]

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. […]

Oh how far the mighty have fallen. The Indiana Pacers, the team that pushed the Oklahoma City Thunder all the way to Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals, entered their Friday night NBA Cup contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers with a 2-13 record overall. They’ve been ravaged by injuries in a big way, and […]

The Indiana Pacers were just on top of the world during their summer, where they were just one win away from hoisting the NBA championship.

The Indiana Pacers finally snapped their eight-game losing streak Wednesday night, defeating the Charlotte Hornets 127-118 behind an unexpected and historic performance from backup center Jay Huff. 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. Upon losing Tyrese Haliburton for the season, Ben Mathurin (toe) has been out since October, which is the same month Obi Toppin surgery was announced. […]

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 veteran guard briefly headed to the locker room and did not return, leaving Phoenix to finish the second quarter without one of its primary scorers.  […]

The Indiana Pacers were just one win away from being crowned NBA champions last season. They put everything on the line to get to where they did, and that included pushing Tyrese Haliburton past his breaking point. 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 […]

For the first time since opening night, when he logged 16:52 minutes in a double overtime loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Andrew Nembhard is making his triumphant return for the Indiana Pacers on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets, according to Dustin Dopirak of the Indianapolis Star. Originally suffering a shoulder injury that has held […]

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. A large part of the reason why Indiana has started so slowly is the number of injuries they have been dealing with, including to star […]

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 […]
