Everyone already knew the next season was going to be an uphill battle for the Indiana Pacers as soon as Tyrese Haliburton went down in Game 7. That devastating moment not only ended Indiana’s title hopes but also scared their upcoming season. However, despite already assuming the worst, it still hurt when Pacers president of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard shared the news with the report on Monday.
“I have no doubt that he will be back better than ever… He will not play next year, though. We would not jeopardize that now,” Pritchard said. The Pacers executive confirmed that Indiana’s superstar point guard won’t be playing in the upcoming season. There couldn’t have been a more brutal end to the young guard’s season. He had just hit three 3-pointers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, soon after which tragedy struck.
Although he couldn’t finish what he started last season, Haliburton will now be focusing on making a strong comeback. However, the Pacers will look very different once he gets back, as they’ve already waved goodbye to one of their stars, Myles Turner, heading to Milwaukee.
