Tyrese Haliburton, born Tyrese John Haliburton on 29 February 2000 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, is an American point guard for the Indiana Pacers. The son of John Haliburton, a referee and former women's coach, and Brenda Haliburton, he starred at Oshkosh North High School and then at Iowa State, where he set the program's single-game assists record and made the All-Big 12 second team as a sophomore. Sacramento selected him 12th overall in the 2020 NBA draft, and in February 2022 Indiana acquired him in the trade centered on Domantas Sabonis. In Indiana he became a two-time All-Star (2023, as a reserve, and 2024, as a starter) and a two-time All-NBA Third Team selection, and in 2025 he led the Pacers to their first NBA Finals appearance in 25 years. He won Olympic gold with the United States at Paris 2024. In Game 7 of the 2025 Finals he tore his right Achilles tendon and missed the entire 2025-26 season. After sixteen months of rehabilitation he returned in the October 2026 preseason, scoring 24 points in 18 minutes at Oklahoma City on his second game back.
