Tyrese Haliburton: No restrictions in return from Achilles tear

Tyrese Haliburton, the Indiana Pacers’ starting point guard, announced that he will return to action without any imposed limitations after missing more than a year with a torn Achilles. The guard, who wears jersey #0, emphasized that his rehabilitation has progressed to the point where he can resume full duties on the court.

The Pacers are currently struggling, holding a 19–63 record and sitting 14th in the Eastern Conference. Their power ranking sits at 26th overall, they have lost two straight games, and their net rating stands at –7.9. Haliburton’s unrestricted return provides a potential boost for a team that has gone 3–7 in its last ten outings, but the overall impact will depend on how quickly he can reintegrate into the lineup and contribute to a side that is deep in the rebuilding phase.
