I feel great playing. My body just feels great in all honesty. I&#8217;ve never felt this strong. I still gotta get in a little bit of shape but I feel great.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s exciting and it&#8217;s only what, the end of June here. I still have three more months. I feel like I&#8217;m in good shape, NBA shape, but there&#8217;s a difference between NBA shape and Tyrese Haliburton shape. I&#8217;ll get there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Tyrese Haliburton offers promising update after Achilles recovery <\/p>\n<p>Tyrese Haliburton was on the rise in last year&#8217;s magical run with the Indiana Pacers. Taking over with his clutch tendencies and offensive wizardry, he helped the franchise return to the NBA Finals since 2000 and go toe-to-toe against the OKC Thunder.<\/p>\n<p>But when it mattered the most, the star guard came down in a heartbreaking fashion in Game 7 of the championship series. His Achilles injury exit crushed the Pacers en route to losing the winner-take-all game against the Thunder.<\/p>\n<p>Haliburton spent the entire 2025-26 season recovering from his tough setback. And after he went viral upon enduring shingles <a href=\"https:\/\/basketnews.com\/news-245023-reason-for-tyrese-haliburton-shocking-weight-gain-revealed.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">that forced him to gain noticeable weight<\/a>, the Indiana sensation is also delighted that he is now fully recovered from the complication.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I look back at videos of me and I can see how swollen my face is,&#8221; Haliburton said. &#8220;I&#8217;m glad that&#8217;s beyond me and past me now. I feel great. My body feels great. I&#8217;m able to do everything.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel like I&#8217;m operating like I&#8217;m a healthy NBA player for the first time in a long time, which is exciting. The fact that I&#8217;m able to come here without having to answer questions from anybody in our organization about my health, that I&#8217;m just able to jump in and do some things with the kids, that means the world to me. It&#8217;s something I don&#8217;t take for granted after the last 12 months.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With a healthy Haliburton, the Pacers are poised to be back as a primetime team to watch next season.<\/p>\n<p>                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/basketnews.com\/plus?utm_source=basketnews_com&amp;utm_medium=bn_plus&amp;utm_id=UA-259273-31&amp;utm_campaign=banners_free_content_for_not_members_bottom_4\" class=\"banners_paid_content_info_block_white banners-paid-content-info-block-white\" data-google-interstitial=\"false\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>                                                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bn-plus-img img-fluid\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/bn-plus.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                                            Like what we are doing?
