It's been nothing short of a nightmare season for the Indiana Pacers. This team is coming off a dream year where they came one Tyrese Haliburton Achilles away from an NBA championship. Now, less than one month into the 2025-26 campaign, it seems that the Pacers are going to have no choice but to take the dreaded "gap year."
Thursday night's loss to the Phoenix Suns dropped Indiana to a 1-11 record, including a 0-7 mark away from Gainbridge Fieldhouse. This is just about the worst result through the first three weeks of the year that you could have asked for.
