Tyrese Haliburton, star guard of the Indiana Pacers, is set to join Amazon Prime's NBA coverage this season, bringing a fresh perspective to the network's on-air talent. As part of his role as player contributor, Haliburton will make five appearances during the 2025-26 NBA season, providing insight into his recovery from a ruptured Achilles tendon suffered in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
The Pacers made it clear earlier this summer that Haliburton would not play in any games this season, but he has remained an integral part of the team's coaching staff and surrounding cast. Now, with his time off being utilized for broadcasting duties, Haliburton is poised to share his unique voice with a wider audience.
Haliburton will document his recovery journey through short video features, offering fans a glimpse into the dedication required to return to elite performance. His commentary will be integrated into NBA on Prime coverage throughout the season, providing viewers an intimate look at what it takes to compete at the highest level.
"I'm excited to join NBA on Prime and share my basketball knowledge in a different way with viewers around the world," Haliburton said in a statement. "This is a great opportunity to give fans an inside look at what it takes to compete at the highest level, in a unique storytelling approach by partnering with an incredible platform like Amazon."
The Pacers have struggled this season without Haliburton's contributions, boasting a 6-18 record so far despite their high injury rate. The team will be counting on Haliburton's return next season to lead them back to competitiveness.
As part of his broadcast role, Haliburton will join a network that boasts former players Dwyane Wade, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, and Udonis Haslem as part of their talent lineup. Active players such as Kyle Lowry also have roles with Prime, further solidifying the team's commitment to providing authentic NBA coverage.
With his new gig with Amazon Prime, Haliburton will be taking an active role in sharing his perspective on the game, offering fans a fresh voice amidst the current crop of talented basketball analysts.

meanwhile, it raises questions about what's more valuable: player contributions or broadcasting rights 
has amazon's influence in sports become too much? should we be worried that they're just using haliburton as a marketing tool instead of genuinely sharing his expertise on the court? 
it's all about perspective, folks 
. I'm curious to see how his recovery journey plays out on TV - it'll be so cool to get a glimpse into what it takes to come back from an injury like that. As for the Pacers' season being pretty meh, yeah, they're gonna need Tyrese to return strong next year to turn things around 
.
Omg I'm so stoked about Tyrese Haliburton joining Amazon Prime's NBA coverage this season! 
He's gonna bring such a cool vibe to the network with his unique perspective on the game 
That's like, crazy! And he's gonna share his recovery journey with us through video features... I need to see that ASAP! 
The Pacers are really struggling without him, so it's awesome they're giving him a platform to shine 
I'm loving the idea of him teaming up with all those other talented ex-players on Prime too 
Can't wait for his first broadcast appearance! 
. and having him document his process will give fans something to really root for. plus, the fact that nba on prime is already stacked with talent like dwyane wade, steve nash, and dirk nowitzki just makes this deal even sweeter 
! he's got such a cool vibe and being part of their team is gonna bring a new energy to their shows. i love how he's gonna share his recovery journey through those short video features, it's like we're right there with him on the sidelines 
i think this is such a great opportunity for haliburton to spread his passion for the game and connect with fans in a more personal way 
.
. Can't wait to tune in and see what he has to say! 
. it's cool that he gets to share his thoughts on the game in a diff way than just playin 
️. and can u imagine watchin him break down plays w/ dwyane wade, steve nash, dirk nowitzki & udonis 
I feel like there should be some kind of union rule or something against this. And what about the Pacers' record right now? 6-18 is pretty rough... are they expecting Haliburton's return to turn it around? 
. I mean, who better to share their insights than someone who's been on the other end of the injury struggle? His recovery journey docu-series is gonna be EVERYTHING 
. Plus, it's dope that he's teaming up with Amazon Prime - they've got some amazing talent already (D-Wade, Steve Nash, Dirk...). I think Haliburton's unique perspective is gonna shake things up and bring a fresh vibe to the NBA coverage 
.
Tyrese "The Human Pinball" Haliburton - when he's not on the court, he's dodging questions from the media 
. Can't wait to see what kind of "inside scoop" he shares with us 
.
and it got me thinking about how much i love cooking shows on netflix... have you guys seen that one with the italian nonna who makes the most authentic pasta dishes? anyway, back to tyrese haliburton... i'm kinda stoked he's joining amazon prime, but can we talk about the new season of that amazing show "stranger things" for a sec? 
. And pairing him with other NBA legends like Wade and Nash is just genius
