Haliburton Ahead of Schedule in Achilles Recovery, Resumes Drills

Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton, recovering from right Achilles surgery, has resumed 3-on-3 and 4-on-4 court work, progressing faster than anticipated. Ruled out for the 2025-26 season, the 25-year-old is now expected to have a normal offseason if he advances to 5-on-5 drills by spring. Additionally, Haliburton has reportedly added 30 pounds during his recovery, aiming for a more physical role upon his return, which could make him a different player for the better.
