Tyrese Haliburton Achilles injury update: “Just started playing 3-3 and 4-4 full court that’s been good. I’m playing with interns and player development guys and I feel so nice and think I can play in the NBA right now.”
Indy gonna let him take his sweet sweet time
They should
If they get a top 3 pick to pair with Hali next year…
Zero reason for him to play an nba game even if he’s fully healthy by April. Just keep practicing off the court.
We applied for a disabled player exception for him. He was never gonna play this year.
What’s the rule on that? Does it means he straight up is not allowed to play or will there just be a cost in terms of cap or penalty
The Heat used the DPE in 2010⁄11 for Udonis Haslem, and he came back during the playoffs. I don’t know if the rule has changed since then
The leagues physician has to agree that the injury is likely to keep the player out through June 15th.
As they should. OKC and Indiana will meet again in the finals. I can feel it down in my plums.
Whenever people say this, it never actually happens especially when both teams don’t an all time great on it. For example, people said it about Suns & Bucks and neither has made it back. Said it about Nuggets and Heat and neither has made it back. Said it about Celtics and Mavs and neither made it back (Mavs ofc traded away the ATG so they likely won’t make it back for a while).
Only reason Warriors/Cavs met so much is because how terrible the East was at the time and Cavs having an ATG with Warriors having an ATG roster as well.
looking forward to his return, cheering for him lots now after the recent tweet he made 🙌
I know!!! He’s got a fan in me.
After last year I can’t help but root for him. The ICE tweet was the icing on the top.
That headline is taken out of context, just so “only reading the headline” people are aware
To be fair I understood the context (i.e. he isn’t actually ready) from the headline, but maybe you’ve gotta know Haliburton a little bit to know he’d go for self-deprecating humor like this
I live in a fantasy world where the Pacers make it to the play-ins, and Tyrese comes back right at that moment to take them to the Finals again
They gonna need to go like 30-5 for the rest of the season for that to happen brother
Let them have their fantasy world
Kings fans will always have a fantasy world. It’s all they got.
That’s not my fantasy.
Rick is out there coaching the fuck out of this team to get good development outcomes & to develop new looks that can be used last season. And somehow Siakam & the vets have been down to help with this. It’s not tanking, but it’s not trying to win in the moment either.
Rick just got Jay Huff competent to play the PnR/PnP game that Myles played w/ Tyrese, and now Rick is (apparently) giving Huff DnPs to work on developing small ball looks w/ iJax & Walker/Furphy.
Next season, the Pacers should have:
can’t have the Pacers sneaking their way into the play-ins.
Wild to think that they could conceivably come back next season with:
Hali, Nembhard, Dybantsa, Siakam, Huff
McConnell, Mathurin, Nesmith, Walker, Jackson
Jones, Sheppard, Furphy
That’s before any potential Mathurin trade to get another centre option through the door…
Lol, they will have top5 pick and with another franchise player they are locked East beast team for decade
imagine Hali coming back with AJ Dybantsa 😮💨
I appreciate you but my fantasy for this team is a top 3 pick and Haliburton being as healthy as possible next season
Ok fine, that’s a smarter fantasy, I guess
I was born in Indiana (but consider Sacramento my hometown), so will always root for the Pacers regardless. Hope you guys win it all soon.
The kings have a better chance of making than the finals than this lol
their roster is ass.
Man i cant fucking wait to have him back on the court.
The fits have been a fun side quest but I need him to resume the Point God main quest line asap lol
I would like to be an intern and get wrecked by Tyrese Haliburton on 1 leg
No rush
Headline misses the part when the “low minute guys” (two ways, end of bench, and Mathurin on injury rehab) come to play with him and he gets cooked.
I really like Tyrese Halliburton. Solid dude. Very authentic. Wishing him well from a Warriors fan.
He is a genuine treasure
He could have a nice career as a commentator after his nba career.
