Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Productive outing in loss
Rotowire
Haliburton notched 17 points (5-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 99-90 loss to the Nets.
Haliburton's struggles shooting the ball in 2024-25 have been well-documented to this point, and while they showed up again in Brooklyn on Wednesday, that didn't stop him from filling up the box score with a strong stat line overall. Although he hasn't quite yet strung together an extended period of shooting efficiency this season after looking like a rising superstar at this time a year ago, with Haliburton shooting a subpar 42.4 percent from the field over his last 15 games, the 24-year-old star guard is still averaging a productive 18.6 points, 8.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.3 three-pointers per contest since Nov. 8. Haliburton has a favorable matchup as he looks to bounce back Friday against a Bulls squad allowing the most points per game (123.2) in the league.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Muted performance in loss
Rotowire
Haliburton totaled eight points (3-10 FG, 2-9 3Pt), two rebounds and seven assists across 37 minutes during Sunday's 136-121 loss to the Grizzlies.
This was a tough night for Haliburton, failing to record double-digit points for the fifth time this campaign. Dud aside, Haliburton was trending up before Sunday, and he's still averaging first-round value in nine-category formats over his last five games with 22.0 points, 8.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 4.8 three-pointers.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Below-average night vs. Detroit
Rotowire
Haliburton contributed 19 points (8-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt), one rebound and five assists across 30 minutes during Friday's 130-106 loss to the Pistons.
Haliburton had a solid night shooting the ball, but he didn't have his usual success as a distributor. Friday's performance marked his lowest assist total since Nov. 18 against Toronto and his first time failing to record a steal in one week. Despite a slow night, he's averaging 24.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 1.4 steals over his last five games.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Impressive double-double in win
Rotowire
Haliburton finished Wednesday's 121-114 win over the Trail Blazers with 28 points (8-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 39 minutes.
Haliburton put together another strong performance, his third straight game with at least 20 points. After a slow start to the season, Haliburton has turned things around over the past week, averaging 25.3 points, 10.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 5.8 three-pointers in 35.7 minutes per game. There had been speculation of a back injury limiting his output, but based on his recent efforts, his health may also be trending in the right direction.
Haliburton contributed 34 points (12-23 FG, 9-18 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, 13 assists and three steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 114-110 victory over New Orleans.
This was a terrific performance by Haliburton, but games like this have been few and far between this campaign, unlike the 2023-24 season. Through the first 18 games, he's on pace to shoot a career-low 39.2 percent from the field and 32.9 percent from beyond the arc with averages of 16.8 points, 8.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.8 three-pointers.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Struggles continue in loss
Rotowire
Haliburton accumulated four points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, eight assists and one block over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 130-113 loss to the Rockets.
Haliburton was a non-factor in the loss, continuing his poor start to the season. Outside of a couple of encouraging performances, Haliburton has not looked himself, especially on the offensive end of the floor. Across 15 games, he is averaging 15.3 points per game, shooting a woeful 37.5 percent from the field. He will almost certainly be better than this, but given his struggles, perhaps it is reasonable to think his ceiling might not be as high as we thought coming into the season.

Haliburton has handed out at least 10 dimes in six contests this year, including in two straight outings.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Produces massive line in win
Rotowire
Haliburton racked up 35 points (11-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 9-11 FT), two rebounds, 14 assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 132-121 win over the Knicks.
After a painfully slow start to the season by his standards, Haliburton woke up in a big way Sunday with season-high marks in points (35) and assists (14).

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Woeful shooting in loss Friday
Rotowire
Haliburton supplied six points (2-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 103-83 loss to the Hornets.
Haliburton seemed to be trending in the right direction following his recent performances, but the star floor general had a woeful showing in a game during which the entire Indiana offense struggled -- the 88 points scored by the Pacers were a season-low mark for them by a wide margin. Haliburton's numbers over the last few days have been decent, but he's still in a slump compared to 2023-24. Through nine games, Haliburton is averaging just 14.7 points per game while shooting a meager 37.9 percent from the field and 25.4 percent from deep.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Produces best game of season
Rotowire
Haliburton recorded 25 points (10-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-6 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists, one block and two steals across 36 minutes during Monday's 134-127 victory over Dallas.
Haliburton's numbers have been all over the map to begin the year, but he's strung together four straight double-digit assist totals after a slow start in the category. He lifted his field-goal percentage to 38.2 percent thanks to the strong showing, but that's almost 10 points below his result from last season. Haliburton's past successes suggest his shot will even out eventually, but at least his assist numbers are generating fantasy value.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Another strange performance
Rotowire
Haliburton contributed 11 points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and 11 assists across 33 minutes during Friday's 125-118 loss to the Pelicans.
Haliburton was quiet again, continuing his baffling start to the season. The fact he attempted fewer shots than T.J. McConnell tells you a lot about where his head is at right now. While the 11 assists are nice, his overall production has been massively underwhelming. The hope is that this is just a funk that he can work his way out of. However, there could come a point very soon when this becomes a worrying trend.
Haliburton tallied 17 points (7-19 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 assists, six rebounds and two steals over 39 minutes in Wednesday's 135-132 overtime win over Boston.
Haliburton's three-point struggles continued during Wednesday's game, but he managed to lead both teams with 12 assists while logging his second straight double-double of the 2024-25 regular season. Haliburton is shooting just 34.6 percent from the field (including 25.0 percent from three) over the first five games of the regular season, but he's the engine that keeps the Pacers' offense going, and he can afford to have off nights as long as teammates are able to pick up the scoring load.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Struggles with shot Wednesday
Rotowire
Haliburton totaled 15 points (6-18 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 115-109 win over the Pistons.
Haliburton delivered a strong fantasy outing after recording at least two tallies in each of the five major categories and making a big impact on both ends of the court. However, the efficiency wasn't really there, as he finished with more shot attempts than points scored and also missed eight of his nine shots from beyond the arc. The rust coming off the preseason could be expected, however, and he figures to remain a key component of the Pacers offense going forward.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Starting Thursday
Rotowire
Haliburton (rest) is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Hornets.
The Pacers rotated their first unit in the previous preseason contest, but they're trending toward what looks like their lineup for the regular-season opener against the Pistons next Wednesday. Haliburton is the Pacers' go-to player on offense due to his scoring and playmaking ability, and he's expected to play a massive role for Indiana in 2024-25 after coming off a career-best season in 2023-24.

Haliburton posted seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four assists, one rebound and two steals in 18 minutes during last Thursday's preseason win over Cleveland.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Logs 16 minutes in preseason opener
Rotowire
Haliburton recorded eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists across 16 minutes in Tuesday's 131-130 preseason loss to the Hawks.
The Pacers limited their starting lineup to only 16 minutes in this preseason opener. While Haliburton looked rusty with his shot from beyond the arc, there should be nothing to worry about when looking toward the regular season. Haliburton is coming off a career-best season in 2023-24, averaging 20.1 points and 10.9 assists per contest. He will be Indiana's offensive barometer as long as he remains healthy.

Haliburton (leg) has been cleared for training camp next week, Tony East of Sports Illustrated reports.
Haliburton was dealing with a lingering leg issue during the Paris Olympics, so he didn't see the floor much for Team USA.

Pacers general manager Chad Buchanan confirmed Haliburton has already passed a conditioning test, and he anticipates that the guard will be a full go at camp.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Dealing with minor leg injury
Rotowire
Haliburton is dealing with a minor leg injury that restricted his playing time during the Paris Olympics, Brian Windhorst of ESPN reports.
Haliburton was under a minutes restriction during the Paris Olympics due to the injury, and he underwent an MRI that was not previously announced by Team USA. The 24-year-old saw very little action in the Olympic Games, but the fact that he played at all bodes well for his full return to action in the Pacers' training camp this fall. Haliburton and the Pacers are coming off a deep playoff run during which the superstar dealt with a litany of injuries, including a left hamstring injury, left leg soreness, a right ankle sprain, a sacral contusion and lower back spasms.
