Tyrese John Haliburton (born February 29, 2000) is an American professional basketball player for the Indiana Pacers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Nicknamed "The Haliban", he is a two-time NBA All-Star and two-time All-NBA Third Team selection.
Born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Haliburton was a consensus three-star recruit from Oshkosh North High School, whom he led to a state championship in his senior season. As a freshman playing college basketball with the Iowa State Cyclones, he set the program's single-game assists record. He had breakout success as a sophomore and was named to the All-Big 12 Conference second team despite suffering a season-ending wrist injury.
Haliburton was selected by the Sacramento Kings 12th overall in the 2020 NBA draft. In 2022, he was acquired by the Indiana Pacers as part of a trade package for Domantas Sabonis. He then earned back-to-back East All-Star selections, being named to the All-Star team as a reserve in 2023 and as a starter in 2024. In 2025, Haliburton led the Pacers to their first NBA Finals appearance in 25 years.
In 2019, Haliburton helped the United States to a gold medal and earned all-tournament team honors at the FIBA Under-19 World Cup in Heraklion, Greece. He was also on the national team roster that won gold at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, becoming the first former Iowa State player to win Olympic gold in men's basketball.
