INDIANAPOLIS – The NBA released its full 2025-26 regular schedule Thursday.
The Indiana Pacers are coming off their first NBA Finals run since 2000, but they lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 7 of that series and in the process lost All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton to a right Achilles tendon tear that will cost him all of this season as well. The Pacers also lost stalwart center Myles Turner to free agency. They did add center Jay Huff to try to make up for that loss and they return three starters — forwards Pascal Siakam and Aaron Nesmith and guard Andrew Nembhard — as well as several key bench pieces from last year’s Eastern Conference title run.
Indiana opens the 2025-26 season with an NBA Finals rematch Oct. 23 at home against the Thunder.
