Tyrese Haliburton revealed he’s been cleared to start one-on-one work in his Achilles rehab, marking a major step forward as the Pacers star inches closer to a return.

After months of waiting, Tyrese Haliburton has finally given fans the update they’ve been waiting for. The Indiana Pacers’ superstar has been out for a long time, but it seems like the good old days are almost back.

With all the uncertainty surrounding his Achilles injury, Haliburton revealed new details that point toward real progress in his recovery. And for Pacers fans hoping to see him back soon, this latest development is the most encouraging sign yet.

According to a recent report, Tyrese Haliburton has been cleared to begin playing one-on-one as part of his rehab progression.

During his recent appearance on NBA on Prime’s segment, the star point guard spilled the beans on the exact state of his injury rehab.

“I’m in a good space. Yesterday was six months for me, so we’re getting there. Things have been going really well. I’m basically doing everything outside of contact right now. Hopefully the goal is by the end of the month that I can start playing one-on-one. It feels like it’s been a long journey but we’re getting there day by day,” he said.

His initial Achilles tendon injury sidelined him for an extended period, but medical staff say Tyrese Haliburton has continued to respond well to an increased workload.

While the Pacers have not given an exact return date, this update positions Haliburton much closer to rejoining the lineup. The team will continue to monitor his conditioning and game readiness as he ramps up the intensity.

Off the court, Haliburton also made headlines with a new venture. He is joining NBA on Prime, Amazon’s expanding basketball coverage platform, where he will provide analysis and commentary while rehabbing.

The role would undoubtedly allow him to stay connected to the league, offer Tyrese Haliburton’s perspective on games and storylines, and contribute to Amazon’s growing push into NBA media.

It’s expected to be a short-term addition during his recovery period, although both sides are open to extending the partnership, according to a source.
