Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton takes a sarcastic jab at Kawhi Leonard’s situation with Clippers

Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Halliburton spoke sarcastically about Kawhi Leonard’s situation with Los Angeles Clippers in the NBA.

The Indiana Pacers are navigating a challenging stretch as their star Tyrese Haliburton recovers from injury, and the team is eagerly awaiting his return to the court. In the meantime, Haliburton has not shied away from the cameras, offering his take on the ongoing situation involving Kawhi Leonardand Los Angeles Clippers in the NBA.

Haliburton may be on a max contract with the Pacers, but he didn’t hold back on commenting about the “no-show” job that earned Leonard an extra $28 million. During a three-minute segment live on Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff, the Pacers’ star point guard responded to questions about the Clippers’ ongoing scandal with a dose of humor.

When asked if he would ever take a “no-show” job like Leonard, Haliburton quipped: “Tell them to find me too!” The remark came amid an investigation into a potential cap-circumvention scheme involving the Clippers that could have serious long-term implications for the NBA franchise.

Haliburton, 25, is currently sidelined with a torn right Achilles tendon sustained in the 2025 NBA Finals. As a two-time NBA All-Star with career averages of 17.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 8.8 assists per game, he remains the face of the Pacers—someone who excels on the court while playing by the rules.
