Tyrese Haliburton held his youth basketball camp in Wisconsin on Friday. In between coaching up the kids, he spoke to the media about his recovery from the Achilles tear that forced him to miss the majority of Game 7 of the NBA Finals, as well as his eagerness to rejoin the Pacers once he’s back.

Haliburton suffered the injury in the first quarter of Indiana's 103-91 defeat at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals. He scored nine points on 3-of-5 shooting in his first seven minutes on the floor before exiting the contest. The two-time All-Star underwent surgery on June 23.
