Tyrese Haliburton Keeps Pacers in Dark on Personal Wishes That Could Affect ACL Recovery

Tyrese Haliburton tore the Achilles in the opening quarter of Game 7 of the NBA Finals this past June. A few weeks ago on the Pat McAfee Show, the 25-year-old shared a positive update. “I’m good. I’m on to shoes now, so we’re out of the boot, which is nice. I feel like I do a million calf raises a day but we’re getting there, bro.” But could the recovery be in jeopardy?

Well, the 2x All-Star wants to put on a show for WWE and is not afraid to put his body on the line. Talking to Stephanie McMahon on her podcast, Haliburton said, “Trust me. You know how many times I’ve tried to convince your husband to let me go through a table or do something? Every time I say it, I’m like, okay, so, like, ‘What if we, you know.’” Thankfully, Triple H, aka Paul Levesque, the Chief Content Officer of WWE, is not letting it happen on his watch. “Yeah. Like, if you want me to be. If you want…Put me through a table.”

Going through a table in WWE would mean an added physical activity for the Pacers guard. Which the NBA and the Indy franchise won’t be a fan of. Levesque reminded Tyrese Haliburton of this. “And I keep telling him, and he’s like ‘the NBA would never let us’. I said, ‘Who cares? I don’t have to ask them.‘” In fact, Hali already had plans to even lie to the Pacers front office about it. “I tell our front office that all the time, cuz I’m like, ‘I’m going to WWE.’ (They ask)’You doing anything?’ I’m like, ‘No, but if I was, you would never know cuz you would tell me I couldn’t do it.‘”

The 25-year-old may be injured now and recovering from his ACL, but he has made plans to take a physical bump in WWE. “So I’m a big believer in ask for forgiveness, not permission. Eventually, I’m gonna get annoying enough that he’s gonna let me do something. I don’t know what it is, I’m gonna jump off the top. I feel like that’s my cheat code. Jump off the top rope into a crowd of, like, 10 guys standing up catch me,right?”

From going through a table, Haliburton then suggested a safer option of attempting a top rope dive on 10 people. Let’s see which of these demands Triple H actually listens to.

This is a developing story…
