Pacers confirm Tyrese Haliburton to miss entire 2025-26 season
It's official: Tyrese Haliburton will not play in the 2025-26 season. Pacers president Kevin Pritchard confirmed Monday that Indiana's star point guard will miss next season as he recovers from a torn Achilles tendon he suffered in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Advertisement "He will not play next year," Pritchard said in a news conference. "We will not jeopardize that. Don't get any hopes up that he will play." Doyel: Subtract two starters, Pacers are still a playoff team. Doesn't add up? Don't tell Kevin Pritchard 5 takeaways: What we learned from Kevin Pritchard news conference However, he said that the surgery went well and that he's making good progress so far and he believes he'll return better than ever. "He plays best when he's really hungry," Pritchard said. "I'm guessing next year, he's going to be chomping at the bit to prove to everybody that he's back. We're just gonna have to take it slow and make sure he's back to 100%. I expect great things, him being an All-NBA player and him hitting big shots. We witnessed something with clutch shot making that I'd never seen in the NBA and I've seen some pretty good basketball players in my time." Advertisement Pritchard said it's going to be tough for Haliburton, however, to take a whole season off because he's so obsessed with basketball. Pritchard values his counsel and has had him attend draft workouts in the past, and Haliburton even showed up for the Pacers' Summer League camp. "He's going to have time to fill," Pritchard said. "I've joked with him, he's just going to have to be my general manager the next couple of years. Which will be a lot better than Chad (Buchanan)." Pacers coach Rick Carlisle alluded to Haliburton's likely season-long absence in a radio interview June 24. "People should be very hopeful," Carlisle told 107.5 FM. "This is going to be a long haul, a long road back. Obviously, very unlikely that he'll play at all next year. I don't think I'm speaking out of school as a non-medical person." Advertisement Recovery for such an injury ranges from 8-10 months. Haliburton had surgery June 23. "With an Achilles disruption, if the rope tore, and tore in half, that has to be put back together. And so surgery will definitely be required to re-approximate or put those kind of frayed ends back together so they can heal," Dr. Patrick Kersey told IndyStar's Dana Hunsinger Benbow. "Those are generally kind of sewn or tied back together like you would similar (to sewing fabric back together). 'And then that will scar and heal over periods of time. It is a little bit of a vulnerable area and takes a bit of time and so recovery is anywhere between eight to 10, 11 months. So, it'll be a bit of time before he's probably back playing basketball." The Pacers will likely start Andrew Nembhard at point guard and move Bennedict Mathurin into the starting lineup as the shooting guard. T.J. McConnell will remain a key reserve at point guard and will be joined by second-round pick Kam Jones of Marquette, who was selected No. 38 overall in last month's NBA draft.

Haliburton sparked the Pacers to their first NBA Finals since 2000, averaging 18.6 points, 9.2 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals a game. "He plays best when he is really hungry and I'm guessing next year, he's going to be champing at the bit to prove to everybody that he's back," Pritchard said. "We're just going to have to take it slow and make sure he's back to 100 per cent.
