Though the NBA offseason for 2024 is coming to an end, Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers continues to make the most of his free time. Haliburton, who had previously featured as a guest on Monday Night RAW, recently attended the NXT event in Orlando. Now Haliburton has caught the attention of the NBA community for his recent comments regarding the Orlando Magic fans.
The Pacers guard attended the event with some of his teammates, namely Myles Turner, Obi Toppin, and Andrew Nembhard, and labeled them as ‘reinforcements’ which provoked boos from the Orlando crowd. However, Haliburton remained unfazed by this. Not only that, but he also trolled the Magic fans in their city during the event.
I get it, I get it. I would boo too if I had to be an Orlando Magic fan.Tyrese Haliburton said
That said, Orlando and Indiana might develop into a strong Eastern Conference rivalry due to Haliburton’s recent comments. Fans from both cities will surely keep an eye on this matchup between the two sides in the upcoming 2024-25 NBA season.
Haliburton and his Pacers side performed extremely well during the past 2023-24 NBA season, where they reached the Eastern Conference Finals. Hence, they will be looking to build on the success and perform even better in the upcoming NBA season.
