Tyrese Haliburton was cleared from day-to-day status on Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 7:56 PM ET. He is no longer questionable and is set to be available when the Pacers play at the Thunder that night at 8:00 PM ET.
What happened
Haliburton's status changed from Day-To-Day to Cleared on the injury report at 7:56 PM ET Tuesday, Oct. 13, with no additional detail attached to the update. He had shown up Day-To-Day with an ankle issue on his right leg as recently as Saturday, Oct. 10. That followed an earlier stretch this preseason in which he was Day-To-Day with a right Achilles issue starting Sept. 6 before being cleared on Sept. 24. The 26-year-old guard now has no restriction listed.
What it means for the Pacers
Indiana is 0-0, with the 2026-27 season not yet underway, and plays at the Thunder on Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 8:00 PM ET, the same night Haliburton was cleared. With him available, the Pacers do not need to lean further on the group that has carried extra minutes without him, led by Pascal Siakam at 33.2 minutes and 24.0 points, Bennedict Mathurin at 31.8 minutes and 17.8 points, and Andrew Nembhard at 31.3 minutes and 16.9 points. There is no record with or without Haliburton yet since no regular-season games have been played.
What to watch
The next injury report will show whether Haliburton's Cleared status holds through the Thunder game and into the games that follow. No expected return timeline applies now since he is no longer listed as Day-To-Day. His workload in the opening games will be the next point of reference as the regular season begins.

He is already back. His Day-To-Day status was removed and he is now listed as Cleared, with no expected-return date needed.
