Tyrese Haliburton

Using big-time shots, big-game performances and never-before-seen box score statistics, Tyrese Haliburton has made it clear whose time it is. Up by five with under a minute, and the possibility of upsetting the Milwaukee Bucks looking increasingly possible, Haliburton hunts down a desirable pick-and-roll switch, faking a dribble-drive to send Milwaukee’s center two-stepping in the other direction. Free to launch, the Indiana Pacers guard drains the game-sealing triple, using his opponent’s watch celebration against him along the way. In the most consequential game of his career to that point, Haliburton’s performance was reflective of a burgeoning star, with a 27-point, seven-rebound, 15-assist, zero-turnover night, advancing his team to the In-Season Tournament’s finale on December 7, 2023.
