Tyrese Haliburton has waited a long time for this moment. After suffering an injury with the Sacramento Kings earlier this season, the 21-year-old guard will return to the court this evening to face off with one of the greatest players of all time: LeBron James. Haliburton is excited to take on the challenge, saying "I'm confident in my abilities, and I'm ready to show the world tonight just what I'm capable of."
As a 6-foot-5 point guard, Haliburton is known for his defensive prowess and his ability to stretch the floor on the offensive end -- making him both a unique player and a tough match-up for the Lakers. Earlier today, Pacers’ Head Coach Nate Bjorkgren said "We're excited to have Ty back in our lineup, and we can't wait to see what he can do against the Lakers tonight."
