Rick Carlisle emphasizes internal expectations for Pacers this season

Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle discussed the team's internal goals in an interview with Draymond Green. Carlisle emphasized the importance of setting high standards within the organization while remaining low-key publicly. After finishing last season with a franchise-worst 19-63 record, Carlisle aims for improved health and preparation as Tyrese Haliburton, coming off an Achilles injury, is expected to return for the season opener. The Pacers recently added players including Kelly Oubre Jr. and Ivica Zubac and remain focused on building a competitive roster in a challenging Eastern Conference.
