The Indiana Pacers are bracing for a transformative offseason following Tyrese Haliburton's Achilles injury, which complicates their plans significantly. As they enter free agency, re-signing Myles Turner emerges as a top priority, despite the financial implications, given his projected $30 million market value. With Haliburton sidelined for the entire 2025-26 season, the Pacers also have to decide how to handle Bennedict Mathurin's rookie extension. Mathurin is positioned for a bigger role, potentially increasing his value, making an extension risky. Meanwhile, Obi Toppin's name has surfaced in trade discussions, as the team considers financial flexibility with his contract.

Additionally, the Pacers face uncertainties in their frontcourt, especially concerning backup bigs. Isaiah Jackson and James Wiseman are recovering from injuries and looking for contracts, while Thomas Bryant is a free agent. The team could opt for affordable veteran bigs from the free agent market to bolster their roster.
