Tyrese Haliburton Posts Video of T.J. McConnell as Created Character in WWE 2K

Indiana Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton has some time on his hands this offseason as he continues his recovery from a torn Achilles, and he's carved out some space for having fun.

Haliburton posted a social media video showing off his creation skills in WWE 2K25, as he adapted his Pacers teammate T.J. McConnell into a wrestling character in the video game:

Haliburton created a fairly accurate character for McConnell, down to the haircut. He used former WWE Superstar Ken Shamrock as the template for the character.

Haliburton appears to be keeping positive despite the recent announcement that he will miss the entire 2025-26 season amid his recovery. He suffered the injury in Indiana's Game 7 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals.

It will be fun to see what Haliburton comes up with next as he continues to find the bright side of his time away from the court.
