BREAKING: Tyrese Haliburton Signs $91 Million Extension with Pacers — A New Era Begins in Indiana

 

In a significant and symbolic move for the Indiana Pacers, All-Star power forward Tyrese Haliburton has officially agreed to a three-year, $91 million maximum contract extension, solidifying his commitment to the franchise and signaling the dawn of a new chapter in Pacers basketball.

 

The deal, confirmed by team sources Monday morning, locks in one of the league’s brightest young stars through 2028. Haliburton, known for his electrifying playmaking, sharp court vision, and elite basketball IQ, has emerged as the face of the Pacers and a cornerstone for the team’s future. The extension underscores the organization’s belief in Haliburton as not just a leader on the court, but a culture-setter off it.

 

“This is where I want to be,” Haliburton said in a statement. “I believe in what we’re building in Indiana. The fans, the city, the team—we’re growing together, and I’m honored to lead the way.”

 

The 25-year-old has played a pivotal role in Indiana’s resurgence, helping guide the team to back-to-back playoff appearances and a recent Eastern Conference Finals run. Last season, Haliburton averaged 21.3 points, 10.8 assists, and 4.5 rebounds per game, earning All-NBA Second Team honors and his second All-Star selection.

 

Pacers President of Basketball Operations Kevin Pritchard called the extension a “no-brainer,” emphasizing Haliburton’s unmatched impact both statistically and spiritually. “Tyrese represents everything we want our organization to be about—grit, heart, intelligence, and integrity,” Pritchard said.

 

With the extension secured, the Pacers now shift focus to building around Haliburton with additional key pieces as they aim to contend for a title in the coming seasons. For Pacers fans, the message is loud and clear: the future is now, and it starts with Tyrese.
