Haliburton’s Cubs Pitch & Comeback | Indiana Pacers News

After missing last season with an Achilles injury suffered in the 2025 NBA Finals, Haliburton’s rehab has been intense, and he’s expected back on the court when the Pacers open their new season against the Pelicans. While the pitch may have been a dud, his return to basketball looks like a slam dunk. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
