Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton is set to make his NBA return on Wednesday when the Pacers take on the New Orleans Pelicans.

This will be Haliburton’s first regular season or playoff game since suffering an Achilles tear in Game Seven of the 2025 NBA Finals.

For his arena arrival, Haliburton was sporting a Triple H denim jacket akin to the one that Triple H wore when he made his return from a quad injury in May 2021 at Madison Square Garden.

Haliburton has made no secret of his love for WWE, and has been on WWE television in recent years, including a face-off with Jalen Brunson at Madison Square Garden.
