Tyrese Haliburton announced his wish to retire with the Indiana Pacers in an interview with Andscape’s Marc J. Spears.
Haliburton was originally selected by the Sacramento Kings in the 2020 NBA Draft, but he was transferred to the Pacers in February 2022.
Since joining the Pacers, Haliburton has established himself as an All-Star.
He has a great connection to the company and hopes to stay with it for the rest of his career.
His family lives in Indianapolis, and his pals are close enough to attend his games, which adds to his comfort and sense of belonging.
The Pacers recognized his potential and signed him to a five-year, $204 million contract extension last summer.
Haliburton has had an amazing season, averaging 21.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 11.7 assists per game while shooting well from the floor, beyond the arc, and at the free-throw line.
Haliburton appreciates the Midwest’s hospitality and kindness, something he found lacking in California, and feels at ease in Indiana.
The Pacers now have a 31-25 record and are sixth in the Eastern Conference standings.
Haliburton is also looking forward to this year’s All-Star Weekend, which will take place in Indiana.
He sees it as a testament to the team’s success and fan support.
Haliburton believes that the team’s fun style of play is resonating with the fans, which is why he is the top guard in All-Star voting.
