The two-time All-NBA selection shared on social media that his foot is officially out of the protective boot, and he’s back to wearing both shoes for the first time since his surgery in June.
“Feels good to have 2 shoes on again,” Haliburton wrote on X.
The update comes just over two months after Haliburton suffered the Achilles tear in the first quarter of Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Indiana ultimately lost the decisive game, ending the franchise’s first Finals appearance since 2000.
The injury followed one of the most memorable playoff runs in Pacers history. Haliburton hit multiple game-winners, posted historic stat lines, and led Indiana past the Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and New York Knicks to reach the Finals.
During the regular season, he set several records, including surpassing Chris Paul for the most games in NBA history with at least 20 points and 10 assists without a turnover. His scoring efficiency and elite playmaking were central to the Pacers’ postseason success.
