Indiana Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton provides encouraging health update

Indiana Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton missed the entire 2025-26 NBA season after suffering a torn Achilles in the NBA Finals last year. 

An Achilles tear can be an extremely difficult injury to come back from, but Haliburton provided an encouraging update about his recovery at his annual youth basketball camp. 

“I feel great. Body feels great. I’m able to do everything," Haliburton said. "I feel like I’m operating like I’m a healthy NBA player — for the first time in a long time, which is exciting.”
