The Bucks were eliminated in the first round of the Eastern Conference against Miami in 6 games.

The Indiana guard is going at a good pace with his record of 20.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 12.3 assists per game, becoming the team's points and assists leader. Tyrese is one of the Pacers' most important pieces and finished last season as the league's top assister, leading him to the All-Star Game. Halliburton has shown that he can be a great offensive orchestrator and many teams have shown interest in him, which could lead to him being traded to a franchise that is fighting for the title. Since his arrival, the point guard has not disappointed and has taken on the role of team leader, now together with Buddy Hield and Myles Turner they will seek to get into the Eastern Conference Play-In.

The Indiana team continues this season after not having reached the Eastern Conference Playoffs the previous year, finishing in eleventh with 35 wins and 47 losses. The team had few changes compared to the previous season's squad, Obi Topinambur and Bruce Brown arrived to reinforce the squad, in addition to the incorporation of Jarace Walker being selected with pick #8 by the team. The core of the team remains almost intact with Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield, Myles Turner, Jalen Smith and TJ McConnell as a fundamental part of the team. The Pacers' goal is to get among the best in the Eastern Conference and qualify for the playoffs again to see what this group is capable of. The Pacers will try to continue showing a high level, they have a young squad that seeks to show what they are made of and earn an opportunity as star players in the NBA.
