American · Oshkosh, Wisconsin · Born 29 February 2000American professional basketball player known for his exceptional playmaking, court vision, and leadership as point guard for the Indiana Pacers.
Tyrese Maxey Haliburton was born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in 2000. Sacramento Kings selected him 12th overall in the 2020 NBA Draft. Indiana Pacers acquired him via trade in February 2022 — giving up Domantas Sabonis in what became one of the most decisive trades of the decade for both franchises. His career has produced 19.1 points and 10.3 assists per game — one of the highest assists averages in NBA history for a player through his first five seasons. He was selected to two All-Star games. He led the Indiana Pacers to the NBA Finals in 2025 — the franchise's first Finals appearance since 2000. His passing creativity — no-look feeds, touch passes off screens, anticipatory dishes through traffic — combined with developing three-point shooting and defensive engagement make him one of the most complete point guards in the league. His joyful playing style — the enthusiasm he brings to every play — has made him one of the most popular players in the league with fans across all markets.
