Tyrese Haliburton accompanied his girlfriend, Jade Jones, to Gainbridge Fieldhouse Arena on Saturday for the All-Star Game. The Indiana Pacers star is currently recovering from Achilles surgery, but he didn’t let his limited mobility stop him from showing up to support the WNBA stars — especially Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark.
Just like Haliburton, Clark was also seated courtside due to her groin injury.
Jade Jones has been by Tyrese Haliburton’s side throughout the NBA Finals and his recovery period. On Saturday, she shared a glimpse of her outing with Haliburton and a few friends as they all headed to the All-Star Game. One of the photos showed Jones posing with a friend, with Haliburton visible in the row behind her. She also posted a short video clip from the arena, showing Caitlin Clark appearing on the big screen upon her arrival.

Haliburton also received cheers from fans in the arena when the camera zoomed in on him during the game. The official social media pages of the WNBA and Indiana Pacers shared the video of him seated courtside. A fan with the username @hoopNball commented, “Love this guy for consistently showing up to support the women’s team.” Another user, @phemmtexz12, wrote, “My boy Hali, speed recovery.” One more comment read: “Hali enjoying the off-season.
It’s good to see.”
He seems to have made a personal vow not to miss any All-Star Game held in Indiana. A day earlier, a video of Haliburton moving around with one knee on a scooter was shared online. He attended the Skills Challenge and 3-Point Contest on Friday, accompanied by Jade Jones, who walked beside him as he navigated the event on the scooter.
Last month, Jade Jones had also shared moments from their Fourth of July celebrations.
The couple stepped out to enjoy a musical concert and fireworks as part of the U.S. Independence Day festivities.Also Read: WNBA stars Caitlin Clark, Sabrina Ionescu steal attention at All-Star Game warmup in ‘Pay us what you owe us’ teesTyrese Haliburton has been ruled out of the 2025–2026 NBA season due to the lengthy recovery period required for his injury. He was already nursing the issue when he took the court against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, where he collapsed in pain mid-game. He underwent Achilles surgery shortly afterward and is still seen wearing a boot.
