QUOTABLE

Indiana Pacers’ point guard Tyrese Haliburton: “I’m sure well have that conversation tonight or tomorrow. I mean, at a minimum, the first half would be my hope. If it’s up to me I’d play all four quarters, but I don’t think it’s necessarily up to me. So, we’ll see, I’m hoping to play a good amount. I’m looking forward to playing other guys too, the Timberwolves are going to be a really good team in the league this year.”

Haliburton on playing at Iowa State: “I’m very excited, very thankful for, obviously the Pacers organization, but the Timberwolves organization for allowing this to be a thing. I know Iowa’s kind of out of the way, not easy to get to but really exciting, I think, for me and I think lot of Iowa State fans as well. It’s going to be fun, I’m looking forward to it.”
