It always hurts when a player suffers a severe injury during the offseason. The Pacers announced that Sumner tore his Achilles during an offseason workout on Thursday, and he will be out indefinitely. The typical timeline for an Achilles tear is usually around a year, so his season is likely over before it even starts. That said, the Pacers have stated they will announce any updates.
The Pacers’ poor injury luck doesn’t just extend to Sumner. The team also announced recently that T.J. Warren is struggling to recover from a stress fracture in his foot, and he also remains out indefinitely.
