Tyrese Haliburton will not be teammates with Buddy Hield for the primary time in his NBA profession, however large issues may very well be on the horizon for the Pacers.
Hield and Haliburton have been teammates because the latter was chosen by the Sacramento Kings within the 2020 draft.
The sharpshooter was dealt to the 76ers in alternate for Marcus Morris, Furkan Korkmaz and three second-round picks and Haliburton says it can take a while to regulate taking part in with out him.
“It’s just weird,” Haliburton told Pacers beat writer Tony East. “I don’t think I’ve ever suited up for an NBA game without Buddy {second time playing without Hield}…It was definitely weird. It’s going to be weird moving forward a little bit. But that’s part of the ebbs and flows of the NBA. Excited for him to have the opportunity. Yeah, I’m going to miss him, but I’m sure we’ll go to the Bahamas together after the season. We’ll still talk every day.”
Things may get very fascinating in Indiana quickly, since Yahoo Sports‘ Jake Fischer is reporting that Paul George might have some curiosity in returning to the place all of it started for him.
“As the weeks have passed since Kawhi Leonard’s extension in Los Angeles, where the Clippers’ All-Star told reporters he was of the mind Paul George’s next deal was coming next — before Harden’s this offseason — there have been growing whispers not only of Philadelphia’s eye toward George, but also George’s own intrigue by returning to Indiana and becoming the latest running mate for Tyrese Haliburton alongside Siakam,” Fischer wrote.
Haliburton may create the proper duo with nine-time All-Star George, who may deliver some expert veteran presence to the group.
Having a mentor like George would assist Haliburton’s tremendously. The rising star is already having fun with a breakout season with a Pacers group who’re 29-24 on the season.
