Tyrese, on the in-season tournament (If they're going to copy soccer, can't they call it something better like the "NBA Cup"?):
Tyrese Haliburtontold ESPN it's the first time he's competing to win a championship on the NBA level and pointed to the fact that he's never made it to the playoffs, therefore, the tournament "gives me the chance to be able to do that, and that's exciting for me."
Haliburton played his part in the Pacers' undefeated group stage record -- he averaged 28.5 points and 13.5 assists per game, including a 37-point, 16-assist performance in a 157-152 win against the Atlanta Hawks.
I would think Tyrese will be playing tonight unless that injury is more serious than we'd all imagined -- the Pacers vs. Celtics tonight in a tournament game:
The only trophy he's ever won is the Big 12 tourney one, I believe.
George Conditt IV (born August 22, 2000) is a center for the College Park Skyhawks. He played college basketball at Iowa State and is a native of Puerto Rico.
After using an inhaler following a sluggish start, Indiana star Tyrese Haliburton posted his first career triple-double -- 26 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists -- as the Pacers posted a 122-112 victory over the Boston Celtics in the In-Season Tournament.
