Kawhi Leonard’s return to Toronto is now looking almost certain after the NBA cleared him of salary cap violations — a move that could reshape the Eastern Conference. For the Pacers, who’ve built a solid foundation with a healthy Tyrese Haliburton and added Ivica Zubac, it’s another major hurdle. Kawhi’s deep understanding of teammates like Siakam and Zubac makes his absence even more impactful.

They’ll need Zubac to deliver big and find ways to replace Mathurin’s energy off the bench if they’re to make a real push.
