One after another! Halliburton officially announced the season s reimbursement, and serious injury to the star has become the norm for the Pacers

8:28pm, 8 July 2025【Basketball】

According to the interview by Kevin Prichard, president of basketball operations, Halliburton, the Pacers star, will miss the entire 2025-26 season. Prichard said: "I have no doubt that he will be better after returning than he is now, but he will not play next season, and we will not take risks now."

In the first quarter of the Finals tiebreak, Halliburton suddenly suffered an injury and fell to the ground without a confrontation. He was eventually diagnosed with a torn right Achilles tendon. The Pacers, who lacked brains, were unable to defeat the Thunder and missed the first championship trophy in the team history.

Looking back at the Pacers' history, although this team has always been known for its resilience and tenaciousness, it is also shrouded in endless haze of injuries. Since this century, the scenes of the star's accidents in injuries have been staged many times. In the 2003-04 season, 25-year-old O'Neal Jr. was at his peak, ranking third in the MVP selection, was selected as the All-Star and Best Team, led the Pacers to 61 wins, and reached the Eastern Conference Finals, allowing the team to jump to the ranks of the Eastern Conference. However, in the 2004-05 season, the Auburn Palace Fight caused O'Neal Jr. to be severely punished by 26 games. He played only 44 games that season, and the Pacers not only failed to make a comeback, but instead fell into the abyss. In the subsequent 2005-06 season and 2007-08 season, injuries followed, and he only played 51 games and 42 games respectively. Frequent injuries caused him to quit the ranks of top power forwards, and eventually the Pacers had to trade him to the Raptors.

At the 2005 draft, the Pacers selected Danny Granger with the No. 17 draw, and he quickly became the team's new leader. In the 2008-09 season, Granger averaged 25.8 points per game, ranking fifth in the scoring list, was selected for the All-Star Game for the first time, and won the fastest-progress player award for the season. His outstanding performance also allowed Pacers fans to see hope for a team's revival.

However, the good times did not last long. In the semi-finals of the 2011-12 season, just when the Pacers and the Big Three Heat played back and forth, Granger suffered a left knee tendon injury, which became a turning point in his career. Since then, injuries have continued to invade him. In the subsequent 2012-13 season, he played only five games due to a serious knee injury, and also witnessed his team's position as the boss was replaced by the young Paul George. The last peak of the Pacers was during Paul George. In the 2012-13 season, George led the Pacers to fight the Heat in seven games in the Eastern Conference Finals, and although he finally lost, his performance won the respect of everyone. In the 2013-14 season, the Pacers scored the first place in the Eastern Conference in the regular season and reached the Eastern Conference Finals again, but there was a problem within the team, which led to them being eliminated by the Heat Big Three again.

Just as people were expecting him to lead the team to create more glory, in the summer of 2014, George suffered a severe fracture of his right calf while participating in the US Team Exhibition. This terrifying injury made him miss most of the 2014-15 season. This injury directly led to the Pacers' team building plan failing, and he fell out of the ranks of the championship team. George also left the team in the summer of 2017 and went to the Thunder.

In George's deal, the Pacers got Oladipo. Audi, who had been lukewarm before, was reborn in Indiana City and fulfilled its talent. In the 2017-18 season, he led the team to a tiebreak with James's Cavaliers in the playoffs, and finally lost unfortunately. Oladipo himself was elected the fastest-progressive player that season, selected as the All-Star, Best Lineup and Best Defensive Team, reaching the peak of his career. However, just as people thought the walkers began to walk in a good direction, fate played a cruel joke again. On January 23, 2019, in the game against the Raptors, Oladipo's right knee quadriceps tendon lacerated and had to announce the season's reimbursement. After 371 days of rest, he returned to the arena.

Now, bad fate has come to Haliburton again, and this time it is really the closest they have to the championship. Before this fall, the goddess of luck has been favoring them, especially Harry, with a stroke of magic in every round of the four-round series.

The team always gets seriously injured at key nodes, and the difference in luck is really sad. However, even though his fate is so unfair, the Pacers have never given up on their pursuit of victory and are still fighting tenaciously. I wish Harry a quick recovery.
