Tyrese Haliburton Calls Out Pacers After Fever Game

Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton attended an Indiana Fever game against the Atlanta Dream on July 11 and publicly called out his own team on social media. During the game, Haliburton posted a photo on X referencing a "Curds in the Third" promotion, where fans could win free medium-sized cheese curds from Culvers if the Fever outscored their opponents in any quarter, using a promo code. He tagged the Pacers with a message urging them to "lock in" and improve their promotional efforts.

Haliburton, a 25-year-old guard, is a devoted Fever fan who frequently attends their games when possible. He is considered one of Indiana's biggest sports stars alongside Fever player Caitlin Clark, and the two are close friends, often seen supporting each other at events.

Haliburton is currently recovering from a devastating torn Achilles injury sustained during Game 7 of the NBA Finals. He had been playing through a pre-existing calf injury in an attempt to help the Pacers win a title but collapsed in pain after starting strong with deep three-point shots. This injury will force him to miss the entire upcoming NBA season, with an expected return for the 2026-2027 season.

His absence from basketball means Haliburton will have more time to attend Fever games over the next year, potentially allowing him to benefit from promotions like the free cheese curds himself.
