Haliburton Back, Pacers Rebuild | NBA News

Tyrese Haliburton’s comeback is heating up—back to five-on-five, feeling strong, though he knows the work to reclaim his elite pace is far from done. For Indiana, this is a lifeline after a brutal 19-win season and a roster reshaped by a high-stakes trade for Ivica Zubac that cost them two first-round picks and Mathurin. The lottery landed them zero picks this year. With the East now packed with firepower—Giannis to Miami, Jaylen Brown to Philly, Knicks fresh off a title—the Pacers’ window is narrow. Haliburton must return at full throttle, Zubac must deliver on his defensive and pick-and-roll promise, and the supporting cast—Siakam, others—must rise again. If all align, Indiana could be a true contender in a conference that’s tougher than ever. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
