You have just ended Haliburton's career there if he does that even by force lol.

He tore his Achilles and not just a simple foot pressure. He might not even stand properly the whole season. And even let's say he can play, the crucial time is the most physical part of the game, as every ball possession is a must to score.

I think his coach mentioned that he's not going to play for the entire season as he might just end his career if he forces himself to play. And that's why he's passing on for this season and will be back for 2026-2027 season. Who knows what's next. I remember last 2023-2024, Chet Holmgren got also injured and didn't play for his first season and it was a quick thing since he's still young and just this recent season, he's got his first title.

With the rebuilding of the roster of Indiana losing their center and the superstar, it is right not to play Haliburton the whole season.
Make a strong comeback and make him healty, We saw Grant Hill and Rose destroyed their career by playing early and not let the wound heal completely.

It is a long career waiting for him, he should stop, rest and chill for the next season.

I wouldn't say they are in a rebuilding process, sure they might have lost Turner, but they have a replacement already. It's more that they will not have Haliburton next season that might concern them. However, we still see that they will have almost the same team members or a few.

The good thing is that there are a lot of them that can really step up. Siakam will be their main offensive weapon now, but the others like Toppin, Nembhard, Nesmith and Mathurin and TJ will have a big role now.

I guess they are not in that process since I think Myles Turner is the only player signed with other team. They still have deep roster with also have good players addition that can help their team to win a championship.

But there's nothing to expect much on Pacers next season since as we know Haliburton is out for the entire season which can possibly affect their run. But let see maybe Pacers would surprise us and there's a new player would step up since they need someone to step up and fill the gap what has been left by Haliburton on their team. The team would rely on Siakam for a while so let see if he remain consistent and reliable player for them next season.
