In a landmark announcement that has sent waves of excitement throughout Indianapolis, the Indiana Pacers revealed plans to honor franchise cornerstone Tyrese Haliburton with a statue outside Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The tribute will immortalize Haliburton’s contributions as a leader, playmaker, and cultural icon for the city, making him one of the youngest stars in NBA history to receive such a prestigious honor.
The unveiling ceremony, scheduled for later this year, will feature Pacers executives, former legends, and thousands of fans expected to gather in downtown Indianapolis. According to team officials, the statue will symbolize not only Haliburton’s excellence on the court but also his unwavering loyalty to the franchise and his tireless efforts off the hardwood.
Since joining the Pacers, Haliburton has quickly become the face of the team, dazzling with his unique playmaking vision, scoring ability, and clutch performances. More importantly, he has embraced Indianapolis as his home, engaging deeply with the community through charity events, youth programs, and advocacy for local development.
“Tyrese embodies everything we want the Pacers to stand for — loyalty, leadership, and heart,” said Pacers President Kevin Pritchard. “This statue is a testament to his commitment to this city and the impact he has made in such a short time.”
Haliburton, visibly moved by the announcement, responded with humility: “This means the world to me. Indiana took me in, and I’ll never stop giving back to this city and these fans. This statue isn’t just about me — it’s about all of us, our journey, and the future we’re building together.”
With the unveiling on the horizon, the Pacers faithful prepare to celebrate a star who has become more than just a player — he is now a living symbol of Indiana pride.
