The deal, worth a reported $200 million, solidifies Haliburton’s role as the face of the franchise and underscores the team’s commitment to building a championship contender around him.A Franchise Cornerstone
Haliburton, 25, has been instrumental in the Pacers’ recent resurgence. Since being traded from the Sacramento Kings in 2022, the dynamic point guard has not only elevated his own game but has also transformed Indiana’s offensive identity. Known for his elite playmaking, high basketball IQ, and leadership on and off the court, Haliburton averaged over 21 points and 10 assists per game in the 2024–2025 season.
“This is where I want to be,” Haliburton said at a press conference. “I believe in this organization, in my teammates, and in the fans who show up night after night. Together, I think we can do something really special.”
The Future Looks Bright
The $200 million deal, which includes performance incentives and a no-trade clause, is one of the richest in franchise history. It marks a significant step by the Pacers’ front office in retaining star talent amid a competitive Eastern Conference.
General Manager Chad Buchanan praised Haliburton, saying, “Tyrese represents everything we want in a leader—talented, unselfish, hardworking, and driven. Locking him in for the long term sends a message: we’re here to compete.”
Fan Reaction
Pacers fans took to social media to express their joy and relief, with many calling it “the best offseason news in years.” After several seasons of rebuilding and roster changes, the extension offers much-needed continuity and hope.
With Haliburton leading a young and promising core—including players like Bennedict Mathurin and Jarace Walker—the Pacers now look poised to make a strong playoff push in the coming years.
What’s Next?
With their captain secured, the Pacers are expected to be aggressive in free agency and trades this summer to surround Haliburton with more veteran talent. The goal is clear: bring championship basketball back to Indiana.
