The Indiana Pacers will undergo some big changes to their point guard spot next season, but T.J. McConnell will continue playing his role and should keep thriving for the team.
After suffering a devastating Achilles injury during Game 7 of the NBA Finals, star guard Tyrese Haliburton will miss all of next season. In his place, the Pacers will slide Andrew Nembhard over to the point guard role full-time. Additionally, Indiana is expected to move Bennedict Mathurin in the starting lineup and share the backcourt with his fellow Canadian native.
While this is not ideal, there are still reasons to be excited about the Pacers' outlook.
