Can a torn‑Achilles star truly return to form? Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton declares he’s 100% healthy ahead of camp, reports Zion Brown of The Indianapolis Star (subscriber link).
I’m fully recovered, Haliburton said Monday. No limits, no restrictions—I’m the source, ready for the season.
Haliburton says he’ll face no minute caps, yet coach Rick Carlisle urges caution, Brown notes.
We can’t pin down his exact load yet, Carlisle explained. We’ll coordinate closely with training staff. He’s bounced back impressively, so expect minimal limits, but we’ll pace him wisely.
Both Haliburton and Carlisle confirm the guard added noticeable muscle since his last court appearance—my take is that the added bulk could boost his durability.
Here are additional NBA injury updates:
- Warriors guard Stephen Curry admits a “management element” lingered from last season’s runner’s‑knee issue, yet he’s confident it won’t hinder 2026‑27. Anthony Slater of ESPN tweets, “Knee feels great. Ready to go,” Curry said. “No problems. I feel stronger and understand what I’m dealing with.”
- Lakers guard Luka Doncic, who sat out the 2026 playoffs with a hamstring strain, says the setback is behind him, NBA reporter Mark Medina reports (Twitter video). “I’m feeling great,” he said. “Rested, mentally sharp, can’t wait for the season.” When asked about limits, he replied, “No.”
- Sixers backup center Adem Bona gave a brief update on his left‑foot sprain Monday, per Dave McMenamin of ESPN (Twitter). “Treatment is progressing very well, I feel good,” he said, noting the injury occurred during the Turkish national team summer tour. Expect him to be back in the rotation by mid‑season.
