Tyrese Haliburton Speaks on His Special Friendship With Caitlin Clark
Speaking to ESPN before the Pacers’ NBA Finals Game 4 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Haliburton shared some insight into his friendship with Clark.
“We’re talking 24/7.”
Described as the “reigning king and queen of Indiana basketball,” Haliburton even revealed what they speak of while on double dates with their significant others.
“The four of us hang out all the time,” Haliburton added. “She goes through a lot, as you know. There’s a lot of weight and eyes on her. Obviously, there is on me as well, but hers are amplified times a million.”

Haliburton described Clark’s reaction as “crazy.”
“I cuss way too much in [the video],” Clark explained while speaking to ESPN.
