Tyrese Haliburton Set for Highly Anticipated Return After Achilles Injury

Tyrese Haliburton is set to make his long-awaited return for the 2026-27 season after missing the entire previous campaign rehabbing from an Achilles tear suffered in Game 7 of the 2025 Finals and dealing with shingles. Haliburton's comeback is the primary catalyst for an Indiana Pacers team looking to rebound from a 19-63 record. The franchise star headlines a revamped starting lineup featuring Pascal Siakam and newly acquired center Ivica Zubac as Indiana aims to contend.
