Pacers team president Kevin Pritchard talks Tyrese Haliburton injury
Pacers team president Kevin Pritchard discusses Tyrese Haliburton’s injury and future on Monday, July 7, 2025, in the Ascension St. Vincent Center in Indianapolis.
Tyrese Haliburton will have no problem staying busy while he recovers from an Achilles tendon tear. Among other things, he’ll be planning a wedding.
The Indiana Pacers two-time All-NBA point guard posted pictures and video to his Instagram account Monday of his proposal this weekend to long-time girlfriend Jade Jones. The two met at Iowa State where Haliburton played his college ball and Jones was a cheerleader, so Haliburton carried out the proposal there at halfcourt of Hilton Coliseum.
Haliburton had the lights in the arena turned off but big light-up letters at center court spelling out “Will You Marry Me” with rose petals in front of the letters. He got down on one knee despite the fact that he’s still in a walking boot. The scooter he’s been getting around on is in the shot.
Haliburton also posted photos after the engagement of the two on campus. He captioned the post “The place where our story started and where our next chapter begins.”
