Tyrese Haliburton is officially back in his bag,
The Indiana Pacers star guard Haliburton went viral during Friday’s preseason game against the Milwaukee Bucks. In the first quarter at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Ind., Haliburton got into it with Bucks guard Ryan Rollins.
Haliburton was underneath the basket trying to get into rebounding position when Rollins gave him a shove to the ground. Rollins was called for a foul on the play, which led to a profane taunt from Haliburton.
The two-time NBA All-Star Haliburton started clapping his hands and then got up to repeatedly tell Rollins, “You a b—h.” Here is the video (but obviously watch out for the bad language).

Haliburton is making his return this season after missing the entire 2025-26 campaign due to an Achilles tear. He put up 17 points and six assists in 20 minutes on Friday, but it was the Bucks who ended up getting the 128-127 victory over the Pacers in overtime.
That was a nice callback though to the classic days of Haliburton openly antagonizing the Bucks during their head-to-head matchups, sometimes even in the playoffs. Milwaukee is not expected to be a playoff team this season after trading away Giannis Antetokounmpo, but Haliburton will clearly still be on their bumpers regardless.
