Even though the 2024 NBA offseason is ending, Indiana Pacers player Tyrese Haliburton is enjoying his free time. Haliburton brought his talents to NXT on Tuesday, where he volunteered to assist Ethan Page and Trick Williams in signing a contract for an NXT Championship Match that would take place on the CW's debut episode on October 1. Haliburton has previously appeared as a guest star on Monday Night RAW.
Tyrese Haliburton brought along "reinforcements" in the shape of Myles Turner, Obi Toppin, and Andrew Nembhard, three of his Pacers teammates to shock the WWE Performance Centre audience in Orlando.

While Tyrese Haliburton came up in the middle of the ring and said, "I get it, I get it. I would boo too if I had been an Orlando Magic fan". Since Haliburton had no prior history of hostility against Orlando Magic franchise, it is likely that he is only getting ready to play the villain on WWE TV. The finest player in the Magic, Paolo Banchero, and the Pacers star were colleagues during Team USA's disastrous 2023 FIBA World Cup campaign.
Tyrese Haliburton is having a good career in NBA
Haliburton continues to promote opposition. The fans of the New York Knicks have not taken to the 24-year-old point guard from Iowa, and now that the Pacers have defeated them in the playoffs last year, the Magic another developing club in the Eastern Conference will be keeping a careful eye on him.
Tyrese Haliburton is having a fantastic season thus far. Not only did he qualify for the playoffs for the first time in his career, but he also played a key role in the Pacers' run to Eastern Conference Finals, despite being the sixth seed going into the playoffs.
