Speaking at his youth camp in Westfield, Indiana, Haliburton said he is walking in a protective boot and is close to wearing regular shoes. The Pacers have ruled him out for the entire 2025–26 season, and he reiterated that there is no return timetable. Indiana received a Disabled Player Exception after confirming his season-long absence. He said he has leaned on Fever guard Caitlin Clark during rehab, noting they frequently lift together. Teammates Isaiah Jackson and James Wiseman, who sustained Achilles injuries last season, have been providing advice and support.
