Tyrese Haliburton sends a strong message to the Pacers ahead of the new season
The franchise star ensures that she will be ready for the start of the season and claims to be in top form before the Indiana training camp.
Tyrese Haliburton has sent a reassuring message to the Indiana Pacers ahead of the start of the new NBA season. The point guard took part in the Pacers Foundation's charity softball game and stated that, despite the work still to be done during the preseason, he is ready to play.
Haliburton was particularly emphatic about his physical condition and made it clear that he has no doubts about his availability when the time comes to start the competition. The Pacers player even stated that he could play right now if the season began today.
"I assure you I will be in great shape," declared Haliburton. "I feel great. I'm doing everything. I'm playing informal games quite regularly. I feel great. I'll be ready for the season. If the season started today, I'd be ready."
Haliburton is already working with the training camp in mind
Although Haliburton claims to be feeling very good, the point guard acknowledges that he still has work to do to reach his best physical condition. The player believes that this process is part of the normal preparation for any player during the preseason.
Haliburton's goal is to arrive fully prepared at the Pacers' training camp, where he will begin specific preparation to face a new NBA season.
Furthermore, the point guard plans to travel to Los Angeles soon to participate in various informal training sessions with other players in the league. These games will allow him to continue regaining competitive feelings before official training begins.
"If the season started today, I'd be ready"
Haliburton wanted to make it clear that he is not worried about his current physical condition. The player believes he still has enough time to work before the competition begins and reach the required level.
The point guard also explained that there is a significant difference between feeling prepared during the summer and facing the real pace of a NBA official game.
"I think any NBA player would tell you that before the first TV timeout, the wind is different," said Haliburton. "It's impossible to prepare for it. No matter how much I prepare. That first stretch is going to be exhausting for everyone."
For Haliburton, therefore, physical preparation in the coming weeks will be important but not a special concern.
Confidence in Rick Carlisle's work
The Pacers point guard also highlighted the work done by coach Rick Carlisle during the preseason to progressively bring his players up to the required physical level to compete.
The planning allows the gradual increase of players' workload and minutes to approach the demands of an official game.
"I know I'll feel good at the start of the season. Physical fitness is something that can be explored in the preseason. Coach Rick Carlisle does a great job as the preseason progresses. Our minutes are getting closer and closer to game minutes."
Haliburton is clear, therefore, about his priority in the coming weeks: to continue working to arrive in the best possible condition at the start of the season.
A reassuring message for Indiana
Haliburton's statement is positive news for the Pacers, who need their main playmaker in the best possible condition to face the new season.
The player himself has insisted that he is feeling good and gradually increasing his preparation. He will now have several weeks to continue working before the start of the training camp.
"For me, it's simply about being in the best possible shape. I feel very good right now. I'm going to continue like this. My goal is to be ready for training camp."
