The Indiana Pacers face the Minnesota Timberwolves in a preseason matchup tonight at Target Center in Minneapolis.
Indiana will be without Tyrese Haliburton, whose clutch play carried the team to the brink of an NBA title last season before he tore his Achilles tendon seven minutes into Game 7 of the Finals.
The Pacers are also missing Myles Turner, who signed with the Milwaukee Bucks this summer. The roster shakeup leaves Andrew Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin with opportunities to take on larger roles — and potentially make Indiana even more dangerous once Haliburton returns next season.
As for this year, the cast of Pascal Siakam, Obi Toppin, and T.J. McConnell should keep them competitive. And under Rick Carlisle — one of the league’s sharpest tacticians — the Pacers will maximize what they have. A playoff berth is possible, but a deep run remains unlikely.
Minnesota, meanwhile, returns home after a deep playoff run, eager to build on that momentum and experiment with new rotations. The Timberwolves bring back the dynamic duo of Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle, supported by Naz Reid, Rudy Gobert, and Donte DiVincenzo.
They made few changes this offseason, opting instead to trust their core. How far they go will depend largely on Edwards’ continued evolution into a superstar.
