Tyrese Haliburton suffered heartbreak in the recently concluded NBA finals. Trying to win the championship for his team, Haliburton wanted to give it his all. Unfortunately, he injured his ACL, which put him out of the game and cost the Indiana Pacers the title. However, as he is getting through the recovery process, Haliburton has found a way to link up with his girlfriend—and that is not at all pleasing to her!
Haliburton and Jade Jones first met in college at Iowa State. Since then, the duo has continued their love affair. Now, with Haliburton injured, Jones is taking good care of the Pacers’ star. However, while she initially penned an emotional note for her beau, Jones is utterly frustrated. In a recent update, Haliburton could be spotted ringing a bell and calling his girlfriend repeatedly.
“this guy did NOT order a bell guys please,” wrote Jones.
Hali got a bell after his Achilles surgery 🤣🛎️

It included custom jeans with Haliburton’s face all over the piece. Meanwhile, commenting on Haliburton’s injury, former Pacer Victor Oladipo made some surprising statements.
