TOUCH DOWN FEW MINUTES AGO: Indiana Pacers Set to Regain Firepower as Injured Star and Versatile Wing Returning for Next Match… See More
Just moments ago, the Indiana Pacers dropped some electrifying news that’s already sending shockwaves through the Eastern Conference. Two key players — star guard Tyrese Haliburton and versatile wing Bennedict Mathurin — have officially been cleared to return and are set to suit up in the next game.
Yes, you read that right. After missing multiple weeks due to nagging injuries, the Pacers are about to get a massive shot of adrenaline as they charge into a critical part of the season.
“They’re ready,” said head coach Rick Carlisle in a short but confident statement released just minutes ago. “They’ve been working hard, and we’re excited to have them back on the floor.”
A Timely Boost
Haliburton, who has been out with a minor ankle sprain, was averaging 22.4 points and 10.8 assists before the injury. His return instantly restores the team’s elite-level ball movement and floor leadership.
Mathurin, meanwhile, had been recovering from a bruised hip but was ramping up his conditioning and has now been fully cleared after today’s shootaround. Known for his slashing ability and defensive intensity, his presence brings depth, athleticism, and serious scoring punch to Indiana’s second unit.
Fans Buzzing, Rivals Noticing
The announcement, made via a team video post on X (formerly Twitter), quickly racked up thousands of shares. Fans flooded the comments with fire emojis, gifs, and cries of “Let’s run it back!”
“With Tyrese and Benn back, this team is dangerous again,” said one analyst on ESPN’s NBA Today. “Indiana was already tough — now they’re back to full strength right when it matters most.”
What’s Next?
The Pacers face the Milwaukee Bucks in their next game — a marquee matchup that now becomes must-watch TV. Sitting just a few games behind in the standings, Indiana is gearing up for a push that could re-shape the playoff race.
