It's unlikely he'll ever return to that role given his age.
Indiana Pacers All-star guard Tyrese Haliburton is expected to miss the entire 2025–26 season due to a torn Achilles . He recently shared a behind-the-scenes moment that sent ripples through the NBA world, a surprise visit from Rockets star Kevin Durant . Appearing on the Pat McAfee show, Haliburton revealed “KD actually came and visited me the other day, came to my house which is pretty cool. We sat down for a while and just talked.” "KD actually came and visited me the other day, came to my house which is pretty cool. We sat down for a while and just talked."

After Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein addressed ESPN's Stephen A Smith for dissing him while he was with the New York Knicks, the veteran center reflected on his postseason journey to becoming an NBA champion. From one grueling seven-game series against the Denver Nuggets to a do-or-die Game 7 in the NBA Finals against the Indiana Pacers, the Thunder earned its title through a pair of must-wins. Isaiah discussed the differences.
Coming into the 2025 NBA Draft , the Indiana Pacers did not have a first round pick. They ended up with two second round picks, however, in trading for the No. 38 pick from the San Antonio Spurs , and then already possessing the No. 54 pick. In days past, it used to be difficult for second round draft picks to make a team's final roster, but the addition of the two-way contract has eased things. The Pacers used a two-way contract on Taelon Peter, their draft pick at No. 54, as per Michael Scotto of Hoopshype.com. The Pacers selected Kam Jones with the No. 38 overall pick in the draft, but he received a standard rookie contract. Peter will be on a two-way contract on the Pacers' roster and thus

The Indiana Pacers were planning to enter the offseason with the hopes that they would retain their star center, Myles Turner. Things had appeared to head that direction, whether the Pacers were to win their first NBA championship or not.
Thomas Bryant is heading overseas.
Before he led the Indiana Pacers with his unique playing style, Tyrese Haliburton starred at Iowa State. As a freshman, he helped the Cyclones reach the NCAA Tournament as a sixth seed in 2019. They, however, got upset by 11th seed Ohio State in the first round. It was Haliburton's lone appearance in March Madness. But it gave him the confidence to play better as a sophomore, as he was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team in 2020. Even though he's already a big star with the Pacers , the 25-year-old guard has never forgotten to look back and honor his former home. Haliburton recently visited Iowa State's football team to show his support ahead of the new season next month. Despite the inconvenience
The proposal went down at Iowa State University, where Tyrese Haliburton — an Oshkosh North standout — played college ball and Jade Jones was a cheerleader.
It's easy to forget that at the start of last season, there was concern that the Indiana Pacers would miss the playoffs. After making the Eastern Conference Finals in 2024, Indiana ran things back with largely the same roster, making the Finals in dramatic fashion before falling to the Oklahoma City Thunder in seven games. Had Tyrese Haliburton not torn his ACL, there is a very real case to be made that the Pacers could have won the title.
For the Indiana Pacers, this summer has been more about adjusting than upgrading. The unexpected departure of a cornerstone big man, however, has left a glaring hole in the starting lineup. This has forced Indiana to rethink its identity and, perhaps, its priorities. As training camp approaches, the Pacers find themselves on the cusp of one bold decision that could define their future.
After a decade with the Indiana Pacers, Myles Turner decided it was better to continue his NBA career with the Milwaukee Bucks, signing a four-year deal worth $108.9 million. Turner will now face the Pacers four times a year as a rival, going against his former teammates. Just because Turner plays for the Bucks now doesn't mean that he doesn't have any love for his former teammates. After announcing his engagement to his long-time girlfriend on Instagram, Turner sent a nice message to Haliburton on the post.
The Indiana Pacers had a very eventful offseason, even though they didn't bring in a lot of outside players. Without Turner, the Pacers don't have an experienced starting center. Indiana didn't end up bringing anyone else in who has extensive starting experience. One publication doesn't like what the Pacers did, or didn't do, this offseason.
Bucks spark outrage by reissuing Lillard’s No. 0.
The Indiana Pacers will be without Tyrese Haliburton for all of next year after he tore his Achilles tendon during Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Without him, most pundits don't give Indiana a shot to compete for a title. Indiana will have a new starting point guard next season, as former starting shooting guard Andrew Nembhard will move into the starting role. It's unfortunate that he has to move into a different role fresh off an NBA Finals berth.
The Indiana Pacers decided to let Myles Turner walk to their heated rivals, the Milwaukee Bucks. Turner has been the starting center in Indiana for a decade, and they really haven't had a backup plan. After signing a four-year deal worth $108.9 million in Milwaukee, they have to find a center of the future. Indiana traded a couple of second-round picks for Jay Huff to help with their depth at the center position.
Tyrese Haliburton had a front row seat for Sunday's WWE Summer Slam, and he even had a role in the night's main event between John Cena and Cody Rhodes.
It was a bold move, but Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton attended the 2025 WWE SummerSlam PLE, which took place across the Hudson from the home of the New York Knicks at MetLife Stadium. When WWE showed Haliburton in the crowd, the New Jersey crowd showered him in boos. “Missed y'all too[,] NY,” he wrote on X with Knicks orange and blue hearts. Of course, the New Jersey crowd, which likely featured lots of New Yorkers, was not pleased with Haliburton being there.
Indiana Pacers All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton was spotted on crutches in a rare recent public appearance on Sunday. Per Scott Agness of The Fieldhouse Files (who shared video of the moment), Haliburton was seen ringside attending WWE SummerSlam at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium. During John Cena's undisputed title match against Cody Rhodes, Cena utilized Haliburton's crutches as a weapon.
