On Wednesday, Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton shared on social media that he played five-on-five for the first time as part of his recovery from a torn Achilles' tendon. Haliburton is in week 41 of his recovery since tearing his Achilles' in the 2025 NBA Finals. This is a milestone moment for Haliburton, as returning to full court play is a major step in the rehab process.
The Pacers and their star guard have both expressed that they expect him to be a full participant in training camp this fall. For reference, Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum returned to play in roughly 43 weeks. For Haliburton, with the Pacers season coming to an end this weekend, the next time we'll see him play for Indiana will be in the 2026 NBA preseason.
