Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton says he's back to playing 5-on-5
Tyrese Haliburton said he has reached full-contact work after an Achilles tear and a shingles setback slowed his rehab.
- On Wednesday, Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton announced he resumed 5-on-5 play for the first time since June, 41 weeks after tearing his Achilles during Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals.
- Dr. Martin O'Malley performed the surgery, though Haliburton's recovery was temporarily paused after he contracted shingles during the NBA's All-Star break.
- During a guest appearance on LeBron James' 'Mind The Game' podcast, Haliburton discussed playing 3-on-3 and 4-on-4 games in late January while working with assistant coach Isaac Yacob throughout the season.
- The Pacers have posted the league's fourth-worst offense without their superstar point guard, so Indiana hopes Haliburton can return to All-NBA form to fuel another run at the NBA Finals.
- Indiana is expected to improve significantly next year with a healthy lineup, as the addition of Ivica Zubac combined with Haliburton's return positions them to compete at a higher level.
