Indiana Pacers

When it came to Tyrese Haliburton’s start to the 2023-24 season, perhaps the only thing quicker than his rise into the bonafide star conversation was the pace in which he pushed the Indiana Pacers with. Not missing a beat in matching his blistering-quick tempo, the Pacers’ front office provided him with a player known for perennially being one of the NBA’s elite in both the halfcourt and open floor setting: Pascal Siakam. Efficient, nearly unguardable, and beginning to find their form together, the tandem hopes to supply Indiana with its most fruitful postseason in a full decade. For the 23-year-old Haliburton, the early season offered almost night-to-night shots at the NBA’s history books; from 20-assist, zero-turnover games to double-doubles of preposterous fashion, the fourth-year guard overwhelmed opposing defenses on the way first-time All-Star appearance, fittingly in his backyard. Siakam, ironically known for his spins and pivots, hasn’t required much time maneuvering into his new situation, offering steady scoring (21.3) and rebounding (7.8) on arguably the best field goal percentage of his career (54.9). This Fandom 'Stars' Redemption can be crafted into either a Tyrese Haliburton or Pascal Siakam Moment after each round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs. · Dec 15, 2025
