Indiana Pacers<\/a> guard Tyrese Haliburton<\/a> joined ESPN\u2019s \u201cPat McAfee Show\u201d on Thursday and gave some insight into his continued recovery from his 2025 Achilles tear.<\/p>\n

Haliburton said that he will be \u201cfull go\u201d for Indiana\u2019s team minicamp in a few weeks.<\/p>\n

He recounted how he had gotten to the point that he was playing 5-on-5 basketball, but then was diagnosed with shingles<\/a>. After being shut down for three weeks, he returned to 5-on-5 play<\/a> with no further setbacks.<\/p>\n

Haliburton suffered a torn Achilles tendon<\/a> on June 22, 2025, in Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The injury caused him to miss the entirety of the 2025-2026 NBA season. When asked how the injury has been impacting his return to the court, he joked, \u201cDefensively, I could tell I was a step behind. I\u2019m not a great defender already. I\u2019m playing against interns and I\u2019m like, \u2018why is this guy fighting me here a little bit.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued by talking about the progress he has made on offense. \u201cIt\u2019s the process of planting and turning,\u201d he said. \u201cOffensively, when I am in control of my movement, I feel great. Defensively, reacting to others, that\u2019s where it is going to get better as time goes on.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Pacers finished this season with a dismal 19-63 record, second-worst in NBA, besting only the 17-win Washington Wizards<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton joined ESPN\u2019s \u201cPat McAfee Show\u201d on Thursday and gave some insight into his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":728239,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3774],"tags":[10861,7,90354,113,126,3866,6,179,114,2881,14945,278,468],"class_list":["post-728238","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-indiana-pacers","tag-achilles-tear","tag-basketball","tag-continued-recovery","tag-indiana","tag-indiana-pacers","tag-indianapacers","tag-nba","tag-oklahoma-city-thunder","tag-pacers","tag-pat-mcafee","tag-pat-mcafee-show","tag-tyrese-haliburton","tag-washington-wizards"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116534567495197493","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728238","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=728238"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728238\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/728239"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=728238"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=728238"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=728238"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
