## Resource

Tyrese Haliburton’s return looms as the Pacers’ star point guard, sidelined 14 months after tearing his Achilles in the 2025 NBA Finals and battling facial shingles, gears up for training camp. He’s already cleared and participating in full-court drills — but first, he sparked a viral moment by rocking a San Francisco 49ers jersey featuring Daejon Love, a non-player on injured reserve who’s actually been arrested for wire fraud. The absurdity? 49ers coaches and even the Cleveland Guardians have jumped on board with memes and graphics. Meanwhile, the Pacers’ roster has shifted since Haliburton’s last game, adding Ivica Zubac and Kelly Oubre Jr., while losing Myles Turner and Mathurin. Haliburton averaged nearly 19 points and 9 assists before his injury and earned an All-NBA nod — fans are eager to see how he reclaims his form against tough early-season opponents.
