Tyrese Haliburton and Pacers return to expectations

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorESPN reports Tyrese Haliburton is back, nearly sixteen months after a torn Achilles cost the Pacers the whole twenty twenty-five to twenty twenty-six season.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThermometer's out, Kenji, you first.

3. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe Achilles was the real star of that team and nobody even asked its name. Sixteen months of rehab, and the heel gets zero followers.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHot. A heel with no followers is a tragedy.

5. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMy take is colder and truer.

6. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA comeback after sixteen months is a hostile border crossing, and the Pacers just showed their passport at the wrong gate. I have been waved through for less.

7. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNot. Nobody knows what that means.

8. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe goat in Mongolia understood perfectly.

9. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentGloria, nobody's even talking about Haliburton yet, they're all asking how the Achilles held up.

10. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFinal take, and it's the hottest. Give the Achilles the max contract and let Haliburton be its plus-one.
