Pacers Notebook: Haliburton’s latest injury adds to early-season challenges

Just one week into the NBA season, the Pacers are already facing mounting injury concerns. Plus, updates on Zubac and Sheppard, Carlisle on Carpenter, a major change to DAZN broadcasts, and more.

Tyrese Haliburton will be unavailable after suffering a left hamstring injury.

The new NBA season brought so much hope and promise for the Indiana Pacers. Tyrese Haliburton was returning from injury after he missed all of last season, and Ivica Zubac was ready to join the starting lineup and be a difference-maker.

Now one week into the season, both players are sidelined by injuries.

For Zubac, it was an unlucky ankle sprain after he stepped on a teammate’s foot while going for a rebound. But it is to the same ankle as last season.

For Haliburton, it’s a setback after he missed all of last season while recovering from a torn Achilles.
