Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton is all the way back after monster first half vs. Thunder

Tyrese Haliburton must not have very fond memories of the last time he stepped foot at Paycom Center. After all, this is where he ruptured his Achilles in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals, being unable to help the Indiana Pacers get over the hump and win their first NBA title in a hard-fought series against the Oklahoma City Thunder. But on Tuesday night preseason action, Haliburton did not show any signs of fear as he suited up for the Pacers’ clash against the Thunder on the road.
