Tyrese Haliburton addressed the Indiana Pacers crowd, thanking them for their support despite the team’s poor season. And he also took the time to hype them up once he fully recovers from his injury.

After a grueling 82-game schedule, the Indiana Pacers’ season just ended. They only went 19-63, finishing near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. Much of their season-long woes stemmed from multiple injuries on their roster, including Tyrese Haliburton.

This was a disappointing year for Indiana, which made the NBA Finals nearly a year ago. The good thing is that they might get a high pick in the upcoming draft, which Haliburton is excited about. But before their season finale against the Detroit Pistons, the 26-year-old addressed the home crowd, hyping them up about the future.

“Thank you, guys, for the amazing year. You guys have been awesome. I know it’s been a long year…we appreciate you guys showing up. You guys are the best fans in the world…Don’t get used to the Pacers not playing in April, May, and June. Go Pacers!” Tyrese Haliburton said when he addressed the Pacers crowd.

Looks like he’s pretty confident about the future of his team – and rightfully so. The Pacers added Ivica Zubac to beef up their frontcourt. They also have a surplus of young players who are bound to make a leap next season.

Tyrese Haliburton Ramping Up His Recovery

There’s no question that Haliburton will suit up for the Indiana Pacers for the 2026-2027 season. He’s been out due to an Achilles injury since June. After multiple setbacks in his recovery process, he recently shared some great news that had fans excited – he’s progressed to five-on-five scrimmages.

“Played 5 on 5 today for first time since June,” Tyrese Haliburton wrote on his official account on X a few days ago.

If the two-time all-star makes a full recovery, then the Indiana Pacers should become one of the top teams in the East next season. And the scary part is that they might have another potential franchise-altering youngster who can possibly play alongside Haliburton in the starting lineup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’

She told how her health scare has changed her outlook and said she has been seeking comfort from Davina.
