The Indiana Pacers once moved on from Paul George to start a new chapter of the franchise. That has led to success and an NBA Finals berth. Could things one day come full circle with a return of George to his first team?
The breakout star of last year's playoffs was Tyrese Haliburton. He plays an exciting brand of basketball and he played a key part in a number of unexpected victories and late-game heroics that helped to propel the Pacers all the way to the NBA Finals.
Unfortunately, in Game 7, Haliburton suffered a torn Achilles that not only ended Indiana's chances of upsetting the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Finals but also ended their chances of competing for a return this year.
