Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) able to do everything

Tyrese Haliburton

IND Guard #0

Player Stats

Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) said during an appearance on Saturday that he is “able to do everything.”

Haliburton, who ruptured his Achilles tendon during Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals, did not play at all last season. In addition to recovering from that injury, he had to deal with a case of shingles in February. The good news for the Pacers is that their star point guard is back to full strength and should be good to go for the start of next season. “I feel like I’m operating like I’m a healthy NBA player for the first time in a long time, which is exciting,” Haliburton said on Saturday. “The fact that I’m able to come here without having to answer questions from anybody in our organization about my health, that I’m just able to jump in and do some things with the kids, that means the world to me. It’s something I don’t take for granted after the last 12 months.” While he may need some time to shake off the rust, a healthy Haliburton is one of the most valuable players in fantasy basketball.

Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the 76ers.

Haliburton’s left hamstring appeared to be giving him trouble during the second half of Monday’s loss to the Bucks, and he’s now on the injury report due to left hamstring tightness. Who would benefit if he sits depends on Andrew Nembhard’s availability (neck), as he is also questionable. Quenton Jackson’s role in the rotation would become more important if Haliburton can’t play.

Tyrese Haliburton recorded 22 points (8-of-17 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, nine assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Bucks.

Haliburton and the Pacers didn’t get the win on Monday, but his being on the floor was a big deal. The Pacers’ point guard played both games of the team’s road back-to-back, logging 35 minutes against the Bucks. Haliburton appeared to get his upper left leg wrapped up during a stint on the bench early in the fourth quarter, but he returned a few minutes later and finished the game.

Tyrese Haliburton finished Sunday’s win over the Nets with 24 points (8-of-13 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and four three-pointers.

Haliburton and the Pacers bounced back from Friday’s loss to the Mavericks, taking care of the Nets in their Week 1 finale. The Pacers’ point guard recorded his second 20-point double-double in three games and hit four three-pointers. While injury management may be a concern, Haliburton said in his postgame interview that he expects to play on Monday against the Bucks. If he’s overruled and doesn’t play, that would raise Andrew Nembhard’s (14/1/3/1 with four three-pointers) ceiling.

Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) is not on the injury report for Sunday’s game against the Nets.

Sunday’s game is the first of two in as many days for the Pacers, who visit the Bucks on Monday. After missing so much time following his Achilles rupture during the 2025 NBA Finals, Haliburton may not be at a point where the Pacers feel comfortable with him playing back-to-backs. Since he’s available on Sunday, Haliburton may not play in Indiana’s first game of Week 2.

Tyrese Haliburton in his return to Gainbridge Fieldhouse scored 18 points (8-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, seven assists, a steal, and two blocks in loss to Mavericks.

You’d want Haliburton to be more aggressive, especially in games where they can’t score, but this is part of the deal with Haliburton. He’s not the type of person that will take a bunch of shots and will have games where he doesn’t score much. The reason why Haliburton is a good fantasy player is not the scoring. He got the peripheral stats in this game which is good to see.

The Indiana Pacers will start Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard, Jarace Walker, Pascale Siakam, and Ivica Zubac against the Mavericks on Friday.

Jarace Walker will take Kelly Oubre’s spot in the starting lineup after he started the first game. The Pacers also have Aaron Nesmith available to play tonight. It’s possible that Rick Carlisle is trying to match the size of the Mavericks by putting Walker in to start.

Tyrese Haliburton had 23 points (8-of-15 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, 12 assists, one steal and two three-pointers in the Pacers’ 123-120 victory over the Pelicans on Wednesday.

Haliburton was overcome with emotion in the postgame interview after he had 23 points and the Pacers won the first game he’s played since he suffered a torn Achilles in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals. It was certainly a meaningful milestone for the 26-year-old point guard, who was also diagnosed with shingles while recovering from his torn Achilles. Haliburton was sharp in the preseason and in the regular season opener he looked ready to deliver first-round fantasy value once again.

Tyrese Haliburton amassed 17 points (7-of-14 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, six assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Friday’s exhibition against the Bucks.

Haliburton has looked incredibly sharp in the Pacers’ final two preseason games, which is great news for the team and for fantasy managers hoping to roster him. He played 20 minutes in the first half of Friday’s exhibition, led the Pacers in shot attempts and dished out six assists. Haliburton has delivered first-round fantasy value before, and his preseason finish suggests the star point guard is ready for a full workload after missing all of last season with a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Tyrese Haliburton lit up the Thunder with 24 points (9-of-14 FGs), three rebounds, three assists, two blocks and four three-pointers in a 114-112 overtime loss to the Thunder on Tuesday.

This wasn’t Haliburton’s first game of the preseason, but the last time he played in a game that counted, it was in Game 7 of the NBA Finals in Oklahoma City. Back in the same place he tore his Achilles, Haliburton was able to get off to a hot start, just like he did in Game 7. He scored all 24 of his points in the first half before sitting the entirety of the second half. He appears ready to return to being a fantasy superstar and should be one of the best picks in the second round.

Unfortunately, Holmgren sitting out Monday’s win over the Suns wasn’t solely because it was Oklahoma City’s second game in as many nights. Kenrich Williams moved into the starting lineup and played 24 minutes against Phoenix; he should fill a similar role on Wednesday.

Caruso sprained his right ankle during Monday’s win over the Suns and did not return. Oklahoma City’s depth has taken significant hits over the last 48 hours, and Caruso’s absence likely means that two-way contract rookie Josh Dix will once again play rotation minutes. He played 25 minutes on Monday and scored seven points.

Williams, who was a DNP-CD in Chicago’s first two games, missed the last two because of a strained right adductor. His status doesn’t affect fantasy basketball, as the former lottery pick hasn’t been in Tiago’s Splitter’s rotation when healthy.

Toppin is dealing with a sprained left hand, but he is a right-handed shooter. He should be able to play Wednesday, and his fantasy ceiling has recently risen because of Ivica Zubac’s sprained ankle. With Zubac already ruled out for Wednesday, Toppin is worth adding in deeper leagues.
