LeBron James says the Indiana Pacers could return to contention if Tyrese Haliburton is healthy, calling the point guard central to the team’s pace, playmaking and success. Haliburton, who missed the 2025-26 season after tearing his Achilles in the 2025 NBA Finals, returned to the court in a preseason game on Oct. 7, playing 16 minutes. James said opponents should be prepared for Indiana if Haliburton regains anything close to his pre-injury form.
