This season was always going to be a weird one for the Indiana Pacers. Once Tyrese Haliburton tore his Achilles, it was widely expected that Indiana wouldn't go on another deep playoff run in 2026. That was especially true once Myles Turner left and joined the Milwaukee Bucks.
Despite a second NBA Finals appearance basically being impossible, this was still going to be an important season for the Pacers.
