NBA season begins with major roster shifts for Pacers and Bucks

As the new NBA season begins, several teams are focused on returning to the postseason after previous disappointments. Key transformations are noted across the league.

The Indiana Pacers are looking to improve following a season where Tyrese Haliburton missed time due to an Achilles tendon injury. With Haliburton recovered and the addition of Ivica Zubac, the team aims for a stronger outlook.

The Milwaukee Bucks are entering a period of structural change, starting a season without Giannis Antetokounmpo for the first time since 2012-13. Following his trade to Miami, the franchise has acquired Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Kasparas Jakučionis, with Taylor Jenkins taking over as head coach.
