It was never a secret that the Indiana Pacers would miss Tyrese Haliburton this season. He is their most important player, and he is someone who makes everybody around him better.
But more specifically, the Pacers were always going to miss him on offense. He is the engine that keeps everything running because of his elite passing and playmaking, as well as his ability to push the tempo. Haliburton is setting up his teammates better than almost anybody in the league, so being without him for a full season is a tough loss for Indiana.
Over a month into the season, all of that has come true, which was to be expected.
