Tyrese Haliburton injury recovery and NBA return

Overview

Indiana Pacers player Tyrese Haliburton is preparing for his return to the NBA following a 16-month absence caused by a torn Achilles injury sustained during the 2025 NBA Finals.

Haliburton initially provided a positive health update, stating he feels physically ready and expects to reach full conditioning during the preseason. He announced a preseason exhibition game in Ames, Iowa, scheduled for October 7.

Following the release of the 2026-27 NBA schedule, Haliburton expressed disappointment that his scheduled return game on October 21 against the New Orleans Pelicans will not be broadcast on national television. He questioned the decision on the ‘Numbers on the Board’ podcast, noting that the league’s national broadcasts for that evening are focused on other matchups. The Pacers are scheduled for their first nationally televised game on October 28 against the Philadelphia 76ers.
