Like all his comrades in the Draft 2020, Tyrese Haliburton became eligible for a contract extension this summer. Unsurprisingly, one year from the end of his rookie contract and in the space of about twenty minutes between two courses of a restaurant in Los Angeles, he reached an agreement with the Pacerswho simply offered him the maximum over five years.

As the Pacers’ new designated player, Tyrese Haliburton is already guaranteed to pocket $207 million between 2024/25 and 2028/29.

Very involved in the decisions of the Pacers, to the point of playing recruiters with Bruce Brown or being sent to the “lottery” of the Draft, Tyrese Haliburton is unanimous in the team and he therefore seems to have found the ideal place to develop as a man and as a player.
” I just wanna be the best version of myself “, he announced at a press conference, rejecting any form of pressure. ” I don’t know what it is yet, but I can’t wait to find out. And above all, I want to make this organization happy, which of course trusted me by investing all this money in me. So I just want to make her proud, just like my family. That’s all I care about and, to get there, we’ll have to win. »
