Even after a National Basketball Association (NBA) Finals appearance, the Indiana Pacers knew they would take a step back this season after the loss of leader Tyrese Haliburton.

Three weeks into the season, the decline in team play has been striking.
Entering their game against the Toronto Raptors on Nov 15 (Nov 16 morning, Singapore time) in Indianapolis, the 1-11 Pacers are a loss away from the worst 13-game start to a season in franchise history. The 1988-89 team started the season with a 1-11 record before winning their 13th game.
Compounding Haliburton’s torn Achilles in the Game 7 Finals loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the injury-hit Pacers are without Obi Toppin (foot) until at least February, while Bennedict Mathurin who averaged 31 points in their first two games has not played since Oct 25 with a toe injury.
