Pacers Rise Again With Haliburton | Indiana Pacers News

The Indiana Pacers are poised to be NBA contenders for the next three years, ranked eighth by Bleacher Report, thanks to a core that nearly won it all in 2025 and new additions like Ivica Zubac. With a healthy Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam, and depth from players like Kelly Oubre Jr., they’re primed for a playoff run — especially after winning just 19 games without Haliburton last season. But questions linger: Will Zubac mesh with the roster? How smooth will Haliburton’s Achilles recovery be? And can Siakam stay at peak performance as he ages? The world is watching as they open their 2026-27 season against the Pelicans — ready to prove doubters wrong and reclaim contender status.
