PODCAST: Haliburton picks up where he left off in OKC, Pacers preseason + new uniforms and courts

Tyrese Haliburton is back, the Pacers have shown encouraging signs through three preseason games, and there's plenty to discuss — from injuries and lineup combinations to new uniforms and courts.

On this episode of the Fieldhouse Files… a lot has transpired over the last week. Tyrese Haliburton returned to game action at Iowa State, then picked up where he left off in OKC. The Pacers have played a couple more preseason games, dealt with additional injuries, and shown plenty to like.

Among the items discussed on this episode:

• Early preseason observations and what stands out

• Several players in and out of the lineup due to injuries

• Wanting to see more from Haliburton-Zubac pairing and the starting five

• Pacers add a fifth uniform — and a matching home court for seven games

• A look at the new NBA Cup court for 2026-27, what I like and what’s different
