🏀 JUST IN: Indiana Pacers Star Tyrese Haliburton Suspended Indefinitely After Positive Test

In a stunning development just minutes ago, Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton has been suspended indefinitely from all basketball activities following reports that he tested positive for a banned substance, league sources (unconfirmed) say.

The 25-year-old All-Star was reportedly flagged during a routine league-administered screening earlier this week. While details remain scarce, an anonymous source within the NBA’s disciplinary unit claims Haliburton’s test revealed “traces of an unapproved performance-enhancing compound.”

NBA Yet to Issue Official Statement

As of now, the NBA has not publicly commented on the alleged suspension. However, team officials were seen leaving the Pacers’ practice facility in what one eyewitness described as a “somber and chaotic” scene.

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle reportedly canceled media availability just minutes before the news broke, fueling speculation about internal knowledge of the situation.

Social Media Reaction

Fans and analysts across social media were stunned.

“If this is true, it changes the entire trajectory of the Pacers’ rebuild,” tweeted one ESPN analyst.

“This better be fake. Haliburton has always been one of the cleanest players in the game,” wrote a fan on Reddit.

A Sudden Fall From Grace?

Tyrese Haliburton, known for his high basketball IQ and clean public image, had been averaging 21.3 points and 10.9 assists per game before his season-ending injury in June. He was expected to return mid-2026 — but with this indefinite suspension, his future in the league could now be in jeopardy.

If the positive test is confirmed, Haliburton may face not only suspension but also potential loss of endorsements and bonuses tied to league performance and image clauses.

What Happens Next?

According to league policy, the NBA Players Association will be notified and Haliburton will have the right to request a “B-sample” analysis and a formal hearing. If the results are upheld, he could face a minimum 12-month suspension, possibly more depending on the substance.
