Haliburton, 25, led the Pacers to the NBA Finals this past season, though he tore his Achilles in Game 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder and will miss the entire 2025-26 campaign. He was one of several star players to suffer that injury in recent months, with Jayson Tatum and Damian Lillard among them.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Hailburton isn't letting a torn Achilles stop his shine. The Pacers star is making progress off the court, including recently popping the question to girlfriend Jade Jones.
