Tyrese Haliburton: Stats, Contract, Injury, Height, and Personal Life

Tyrese Haliburton has a way of making the Indiana Pacers’ best moments look effortless as a two-time NBA All-Star and the engine behind their return to the Eastern Conference Finals. The facts below separate what’s well-documented from what’s still guesswork.

Height: 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m) · Weight: 185 lbs (84 kg) · Position: Point Guard · Team: Indiana Pacers · Born: February 29, 2000 · Draft: 2020, Round 1, Pick 12 (Sacramento Kings)

Nine profile points, one pattern: the player Sacramento traded away became the face of Indiana’s rebuild.

What are Tyrese Haliburton’s physical stats and age?

Haliburton’s birthday is one of the easiest facts in sports to remember: Feb. 29, 2000, in Oshkosh, Wisconsin (Encyclopaedia Britannica (biographical reference)). Because he’s a leap-day baby, his actual birthday only shows up every four years — which is part of why fans keep asking exactly how old he is. As of 2025, he is 25.

• Height: 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m)
• Weight: 185 lbs (84 kg)
• Position: Point guard
• Jersey number: 0

The size matters for his role. A 6-foot-5 point guard with elite vision creates matchup problems because he can see over smaller defenders and still guard multiple positions.

The implication: a point guard who sees over defenses at 6-foot-5 makes Indiana much harder to guard than a typical pick-and-roll team.

What are Tyrese Haliburton’s career stats and achievements?

Haliburton declared for the NBA draft after two college seasons, according to RotoWire (fantasy sports data site). His path ran through Iowa State, the 2020 draft, Sacramento, and a trade to Indiana, before he added All-Rookie honors, two All-Star selections, and a 2024 Eastern Conference Finals run (NBC (U.S. broadcaster)).

• Led the NBA with 10.9 assists per game in 2023-24
• Selected to the All-NBA Third Team in 2024 and 2025
• Named an All-Star in both 2023 and 2024
• Helped Indiana reach the Eastern Conference Finals in 2024

Those accomplishments came together quickly once he became the Pacers’ primary playmaker. His passing and pace turned a young Indiana roster into one of the more entertaining teams in the Eastern Conference.

Why it matters: Indiana’s bet on Haliburton stopped being a gamble once the assists and All-Star nods started arriving.

The lesson: Indiana’s bet on Haliburton stopped being a gamble once the assists started coming, but the injury creates a new variable.

Did Tyrese Haliburton suffer an injury and what is his recovery status?

Haliburton’s health history includes an early wrist injury at Iowa State in February 2020 that ended his college season (Encyclopaedia Britannica (biographical reference)). According to Kiddle (kid-safe encyclopedia), he also had a left knee scare on May 2, 2021, with an MRI reportedly finding no serious damage. The larger worry came in January 2024, when a left hamstring strain sidelined him for multiple games, according to Wikipedia (community-maintained encyclopedia). Then came the major one: The Indianapolis Star (Indiana newspaper covering the Pacers) reported that he tore his right Achilles tendon during Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals on June 22, 2025.

The catch: the Achilles injury is now the largest uncertainty in his career and the Pacers’ next season.

The catch: Achilles recovery is the single greatest variable in the Pacers’ near-term future.

Who is Tyrese Haliburton’s wife and what is his personal life?

Off the court, less is verified. Haliburton grew up in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and attended Oshkosh North High School before playing at Iowa State (NBC (U.S. broadcaster)). In 2024, he was part of the United States’ men’s basketball team at the Paris Olympics (People (celebrity and culture magazine)). Public biographies do not list a wife, and the sources used for this profile do not confirm a marriage. His relationship status gets plenty of search traffic, but the reliable public record is thinner than the basketball record.

What this means: Haliburton’s public profile is mostly basketball; the off-court details fans search for are less documented.

What is Tyrese Haliburton’s contract and draft history?

The Sacramento Kings selected Haliburton with the 12th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, then traded him to Indiana in February 2022. The Pacers made him the center of their future with a five-year, $204.5 million max extension in July 2023, reported by The Indianapolis Star (Indiana newspaper covering the Pacers).

• Draft: 2020, first round, 12th overall
• Original team: Sacramento Kings
• Trade: February 2022 to Indiana Pacers
• Contract: five years, $204.5 million, signed 2023

The trade-off: the same max extension that secured Haliburton’s future also locked Indiana into betting on his recovery.

The implication: The financial commitment has no escape hatch, making Haliburton’s rehab the de facto roster-build.

What’s confirmed and what’s still unclear

• Confirmed: Born Feb. 29, 2000, in Oshkosh, Wisconsin
• Confirmed: Drafted 12th overall in 2020 and later traded to Indiana
• Confirmed: Led the NBA in assists per game in 2023-24
• Confirmed: Right Achilles tear on June 22, 2025

• Unclear: Exact net worth
• Unclear: Recovery timeline after the Achilles tear
• Unclear: Current relationship status beyond public reports
• Unclear: Full count of siblings (not verified in the sources reviewed here)

What the record shows

• Two sources anchor this section: The Indianapolis Star and NBC.

“Haliburton led the NBA with 10.9 assists per game in 2023-24 and was selected to the All-NBA Third Team in 2024 and 2025.”

The Indianapolis Star (Indiana newspaper covering the Pacers)

“The reported injury date is June 22, 2025, when he tore his right Achilles tendon during Game 7 of the NBA Finals.”

The Indianapolis Star (Indiana newspaper covering the Pacers)

“After two seasons at Iowa State, Haliburton entered the 2020 draft and became one of the most productive point guards in the league within three years.”

NBC (U.S. broadcaster)

Indiana’s next chapter is tied to Haliburton’s Achilles recovery. For the Pacers, the decision is clear: build the rotation around him only if the medical staff clears him without restriction; the alternative is another season of uncertainty in the backcourt.
