As Indiana Pacers fans sit down to their Thanksgiving dinner this week, they have plenty of reasons to offer thanks.
Yes, really.
True, the past five months have been messier than spilled cranberry sauce. The loss in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. The horrific Tyrese Haliburton injury. Myles Turner’s departure in free agency. The rash of injuries that ruined the start of this season.
However, even in the midst of a dried-out turkey of a 2025-26 campaign, Pacers fans can be thankful for plenty of things as they look back at past accomplishments and look ahead to the future.
