It may be the summer of Tyrese Haliburton, but his offseason is now over a month before most of his teammates’. The Indiana Pacers point guard has the opportunity to have a special and memorable next six weeks with USA Basketball. It all started Wednesday in Las Vegas as members of the 12-man roster arrived to […]
One of the greatest players in the Portland Trail Blazers franchise history demanded a trade this summer in Damian Lillard.

While the Pacers continue to be mentioned as a potential destination for Pascal Siakam of the Toronto Raptors, there is a player on their roster who is now the subject of trade rumors of his own. T.J McConnell, the Pacers back-up point guard who has been on the team since 2019, has been rumored to […]
When the Pacers took Benedict Mathurin with the 6th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, many assumed he would be an instant starter for a lackluster roster. Instead, Head Coach Rick Carlisle made the Arizona product pay his dues. Mathurin played in 78 of the Pacers’ 82 games last season but started just 17, […]
LAS VEGAS — Just because the Indiana Pacers have completed several moves this offseason doesn’t mean they’re a finished product.

Chris Duarte’s time with the team that drafted him 13th overall in 2021 is over after just two years.
