  "account": "Indianapolis -- Tyrese Haliburton, a star player for the Indiana Pacers, will not participate in the team's second preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks due to an ankle injury, according to head coach Rick Carlisle during pregame remarks. The injury occurred during the Pacers' preseason opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves, marking Haliburton's first NBA action in 472 days following a torn right Achilles sustained in the 2025 NBA Finals. Following an MRI examination, coaches confirmed that Haliburton's surgically-repaired Achilles is in good condition and there are no complications. Coaches anticipate Haliburton could begin practicing on Monday and potentially return to action Tuesday against the Oklahoma Thunder. However, if Haliburton is not ready for Tuesday's game, the team has plans to get him ready for the Pacers' final preseason matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks on October 16th.",
