The boots are placed following a major surgery, and they help the Pacers star keep his leg in place for it to recover better and faster.
In a previous social media post, Haliburton himself addressed his injury and how it has affected him emotionally. He admitted to having a hard time dealing with it, but promised his fans that he would see it through, and even joked that he is glad the fans do not get to see “the ugly kid cry.”
Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton made a surprise appearance at the team’s Summer League Practice earlier last week and offered a morale boost to his old and new teammates as he continues his journey to recovery from his recent injury.
Despite wearing a medical boot following surgery, Haliburton attended practice at the Ascension St. Vincent Center. He sat courtside and showed encouragement to his fellow Pacers. His presence underscored his leadership, especially as he continued to process the physical and emotional toll of the injury that ended his run in the recent NBA Finals.
The injury, which occurred in Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, left Haliburton visibly grappling with pain and frustration.
Pacers rookie Taelon Peter was also at the training camp, and he shared the experience of seeing Haluiburont in person, whom he has only seen o a screen before getting drafted by the Pacers during the second round.
“Something I’ve been working on the past couple of days from two weeks ago, watching the finals and being a huge fan of the NBA, not knowing if it were going to be my thing or not, to being here and seeing people I never thought I’d see in person, it’s special,” Peter said.
He added, however, that he believes he would get used to it soon enough.
During the 2024-2025 season, Tyrese Haliburton averaged 18.6 points per game, ranked third in the league with 9.2 assists per game, and 3.5 rebounds.
