Overview

  • Tyrese Haliburton was booed by the crowd when shown on the MetLife Stadium video board and responded with a gesture and audible “I love you too” to egg on Knicks fans.
  • During the WWE SummerSlam main event street fight, John Cena seized one of Haliburton’s crutches ringside to strike Cody Rhodes.
  • Haliburton later posted “Missed y’all too NY” with Knicks-colored emojis on X as a playful acknowledgement of the reception.
  • He remains sidelined by rehabilitation from his June 23 Achilles tendon surgery and is projected to miss the entire 2025–26 NBA season.
  • The high-profile crossover cements Haliburton’s role as a polarizing heel figure and deepens his off-court rivalry with New York fans.
