After the game, Pacers legend Reggie Miller shared a message on social media to Haliburton and the team for their fight this season.
'I felt the gut punch to Pacer Nation, not only from the loss, but the loss of our fearless leader Tyrese Haliburton. The man upstairs always has a master plan and 'this to shall pass'.
'I'm very grateful of the Pacers TEAM for bringing so much pride, grit and togetherness back to Indiana basketball.. Masterful job on the sideline Coach Rick Carlisle, and let's not forget about all the men and women who work in the Front Offices who sacrifice a lot of their time to make things happen,' Miller wrote.
The Pacers were definitely the underdogs of the postseason, and they shocked the world by making it to Game 7 of the NBA Finals. They proved in every series that they had the talent to compete with anybody, and they made it hard for every team they faced.

Haliburton was the key to their success, and he had some amazing moments throughout the postseason that will never be forgotten. He was slowed down late in the Finals series with a right calf strain, but he still decided to play. He played well in Game 6, and in Game 7, he came out hot from the 3-point line.
Unfortunately, Haliburton may have extended his leg too far out, and it looked as if his Achilles popped during the first half of the game. With the way that Haliburton reacted, it didn't look good, and he had to be helped off the floor and into the locker room.

Bulls trading oft-injured Lonzo Ball to Cavaliers as former top pick gets shot with contender
The Cavaliers are taking a chance on Lonzo Ball — and the 27-year-old guard, whose career has been derailed by injuries, gets a fresh start. They sent guard Isaac Okoro to the Bulls in exchange for Ball, who appeared in 35 games last season after missing the previous two years due to injuries. Ball, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, started his career with the Lakers before stints with the Pelicans and Chicago, and during that time, he dealt with multiple injuries.

And they're taking a risk on Ball as a piece to help them reach that point.

Indiana Pacers Reshape Backcourt With Two Picks In 2025 NBA Draft
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MARCH 14: Kam Jones #1 of the Marquette Golden Eagles dribbles in the first ... More half of a semifinal game against the St. John's Red Storm during the Big East Men's Basketball Tournament at Madison Square Garden on March 14, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by) INDIANAPOLIS – Before the 2025 NBA Draft began, it was clear the Indiana Pacers were eager to add a contributor. Just before the first round tipped off, Indiana struck a deal with the San Antonio Spurs, acquiring the 38th pick. With the Pacers financial picture in mind, adding a rookie on a lower-salary deal made strategic sense. That pick gave Indiana a shot at doing just that. And after a day of waiting, the Pacers made their selection early in the second round by bringing in Marquette product Kameron Jones, a 23-year old from Tennessee. He spent four seasons with the Golden Eagles and evolved tremendously year over year. As a freshman, Jones came off the bench and learned the ropes. His scoring more than doubled as a sophomore, and his efficiency jumped in year three. When Tyler Kolek left Marquette for the NBA, Jones assumed more playmaking responsibilities. His assists per game number then rose from 2.4 per game to 5.9 as a senior, and that passing tied together his ball handling skills. Each year, Jones added a new layer to his game. The Pacers current front office likes when players who work on their craft and continuously develop – Jones fits that mold. 'I like it!' Pacers President of Basketball Operations Kevin Pritchard tweeted after the pick. As a senior, Jones averaged 19.2 points and 5.9 assists per game while shooting 48.3% from the field. He was a consensus second team All-American honoree and was a finalist for the Bob Cousy Award. Importantly for Indiana, he did a lot of things that suggest he will fit well in the Pacers system. What do Pacers draft picks need to do? Indiana's identity is built on pace, ball movement, possessions, and efficiency. Those principles have propelled them to consecutive Eastern Conference Finals and a recent trip to the NBA Finals. Clearly, their identity is successful, and it requires specific strengths from players at certain positions. Guards in Indiana's scheme must be smart decision makers, capable shooters, and comfortable in the pick-and-roll. They need to play fast without sacrificing control. Pacers initiators are versatile. Jones' college metrics suggest he can fit into that style as he grows in the NBA. While having a usage rate approaching 30%, Jones held a turnover rate below 10% – he rarely made poor decisions despite being heavily involved. According to Synergy Sports, he ran 302 pick-and-roll possessions last season, ranking in the 99th percentile for frequency and 85th percentile in efficiency. He made a tidy 36.6% of his three-point shots across 861 attempts at Marquette. His defense features more speed than strength. Jones catch-and-shoot numbers are better than his off the dribble J, and he doesn't get to the foul line as often as other guard prospects. But his strengths are obvious, and they are a snug fit with what the Pacers hope to get out of ball handlers. At pick 38, he's a logical fit. 'I'm just ready to get to Naptown and get to work,' Jones said on ESPN after being drafted. Given when Jones was drafted, it is likely he receives a standard NBA contract with the blue and gold – just like previous Pacers high second-round picks Andrew Nembhard and Johnny Furphy. With Indiana's star point guard Tyrese Haliburton out for a while due to a torn Achilles, Jones could add meaningful depth to the blue and gold. Another area that guides the Pacers success, and particularly their efficiency, is shot making. That sounds obvious as the objective of the sport, but Indiana's player development program works hard at improving the jump shooting ability of every player on the roster. That's why the Pacers ranked fourth in effective field goal percentage last season – they move the ball well and have a team filled with shot makers. That priority also explains the Pacers 54th overall pick in Thursday's second round. They took Liberty guard Taelon Peter, a five-year college player born in Arkansas. LYNCHBURG, VA - FEBRUARY 27: Taelon Peter #2 of the Liberty Flames takes a jump shot during a ... More college basketball game against the Jacksonville State Gamecocks at Liberty Arena on February 27, 2025 in Lynchburg, Virginia. (Photo by) Peter, 23, was a masterful play finisher for the Flames last season. He led Conference USA with a 75.6% field goal percentage on two-point shots, a remarkable feat for a guard, while also canning a ridiculous 45.3% of his outside shots. He attempted 170 three pointers, too. This isn't a case of low volume clouding the percentages. That efficiency is unheard of. Peter's true shooting percentage in his final collegiate season was 72.8%, among the NCAA's best. Of the 13 players who logged at least 500 minutes and eclipsed 70% true shooting, only three – including Peter – weren't post players, and most didn't attempt even 20 threes. It's difficult to take a bunch of jumpers yet maintain a high efficiency. Peter did it. He averaged 13.7 points per game for Liberty this past season and played in 35 games. He primarily came off the bench. 'My role is obviously a little different than it was last year, so learning which ways I can be the best teammate is definitely something that I'm trying to learn and grow,' Peter told the Liberty Champion of his development. Prospects who can make shots have a clear path to success in the NBA. Peter still has areas to improve, but his elite shooting and athleticism give him a solid foundation. He can get up threes quickly, rarely takes analytically-unkind shots, and has impressive bounce to go with it. Peter ranked in the 99th percentile on spot up shot efficiency in the NCAA ranks last season, per Synergy Sports. His transition efficiency was in the 96th percentile. On a Pacers team that thrives in the open floor and emphasizes shot making, he's a promising developmental piece. The Liberty product should fit right in. Since the two-way contract was introduced in 2017, every 54th pick has signed one in their first season. That should be the expectation for Peter, who was drafted late by an Indiana team that could have openings with their two-way contracts pending the futures of Enrique Freeman and Quenton Jackson. The NBA Draft can be an unknown. Much of it is hard to project. The Pacers are trying to make their reality more known by picking players who fit their system well, and they did exactly that.

Pacers Linked to Former No 1 Pick in NBA Free Agency
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Indiana Pacers will have to get creative this offseason. They don't have much financial flexibility and will have even less once they sign free agent center Myles Turner to a lucrative long-term deal. Following the torn Achilles suffered by Tyrese Haliburton in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, the Pacers need help. They could use another ball-handler, although that player does not necessary need to play the point guard position. Andrew Nembhard is expected to slide into the starting point guard role. Bringing in another wing who could make an impact as a playmaker off of the bench should be a top priority for Indiana. Ben Simmons #25 of the LA Clippers handles the ball during the first half of a game against the Utah Jazz at Delta Center on February 13, 2025 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Photo byWith that in mind, the team has been connected as a possible fit for one former No. 1 overall pick. Read more: Pacers Linked to Familiar Potential Tyrese Haliburton Replacement ESPN's Bobby Marks has named one intriguing player a "fit" for the Pacers. He thinks that Los Angeles Clippers' free agent Ben Simmons would fit in Indiana. Simmons was one of a few players mentioned as possible fits. Marks also urged the Pacers to re-sign Turner to a contract worth around three years for $75 million. This may not be an eye-opening idea, but it's one that could make sense. Simmons has never lived up to the hype that surrounded him when he was selected No. 1 overall in the 2016 NBA Draft, but he is capable of handling the ball, defending, rebounding, and creating open looks for teammates. During the 2024-25 NBA season split between the Brooklyn Nets and the Clippers, Simmons played in 51 games and recorded 24 starts. He averaged five points, 5.6 assists, and 4.7 rebounds, while shooting 52 percent from the floor. At 28 years old, Simmons would be worth taking a one-year flier on. Indiana has nothing to lose with Haliburton likely being out for the entirety of the 2025-26 season. Read more: Knicks' NBA Free Agency Plans Receive Major Update Should things work out and Simmons fit in well with the Pacers, the team could consider working out a new deal next offseason. Perhaps they could even sign him to a one-year deal with a team option on a second year. It's an interesting idea and also one that would not break the bank. Simmons has shown flashes of big-time potential and Indiana could look into the idea of bringing him onboard and giving him a chance to prove himself with Haliburton sidelined.
