Tyrese Haliburton Is BACK + New Pacers SHINE at Fan Jam

Pacers basketball is officially BACK. Brad and Ryan are reacting to everything they saw at Pacers Fan Jam, including the moment everyone in Gainbridge Fieldhouse had been waiting for: Tyrese Haliburton back on an NBA court. For the first time since tearing his Achilles in the 2025 NBA Finals, Hali was back in front of Pacers fans — moving well, looking comfortable and giving us our first live glimpse of the comeback we’ve been waiting more than a year to see. And Tyrese wasn’t the only reason to leave Fan Jam excited. Kelly Oubre Jr. brought exactly the kind of energy we hoped to see, Ivica Zubac gave fans their first look at a completely different presence at the five, Braden Smith showed that he belonged on an NBA court, and Indiana’s new-look roster finally got to share the floor in front of Pacers fans. Plus, we talk about another first-class Fan Jam experience from the Pacers and the energy inside Gainbridge as Indianapolis gets ready for another season of basketball. Training camp is underway. Preseason starts this week. And the Tyrese Haliburton comeback tour has officially begun.
