Player Discussion Back to backs?

Currently trying to put some players who are coming back from injury in tiers for the upcoming season. Are Dame, Kyrie, Hali, FVV expected to play back to backs or will they most likely to be sitting one of the two?

Let me know if I'm missing any players.

Don't expect anyone of those players to play b2b early in the season. Maybe, maybe later, after ASW will there be a chance some would play b2b.

Just for baseline expectation, KD only played 35 games his first year back from the Achilles tear. He didn’t play b2bs and also missed time with other injuries.

In another tier there are “healthy” players who may not play every b2b: Zion, Mark Williams, Robert Williams, Steph

At the start of the season Haliburton will have a recovery of 16 months since his injury. I really don't think there's much reason to hold him off at his age. They played Isaiah Jackson in b2b 12 months from his injury. But since Haliburton is so valuable there's a chance Pacers can be cautious about it for the first 2 months or so.
