Summary
The Indiana Pacers are eyeing a deep playoff run in 2026-27 despite Tyrese Haliburton’s Achilles injury, with a stacked starting five and a crucial bench question. Gone is Bennedict Mathurin, and T.J. McConnell, now 34, can’t replicate his past impact without Haliburton. Kelly Oubre Jr. brings scoring depth, but Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin must step up, while Jay Huff and Larry Nance Jr. battle for backup center minutes. With Haliburton expected to return at full strength and key pieces like Siakam, Zubac, and Nesmith in place, the Pacers have the talent — now it’s about execution to turn potential into playoff magic.
