Tyrese Haliburton Trolls Brewers, Wears Dodgers, Cubs Jerseys During MLB Playoffs

Tyrese Haliburton may not have a specific MLB team he roots for, but he certainly isn't a fan of the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Indiana Pacers star has made it clear he's not rooting for the Brewers in the MLB playoffs in recent days. He wore a Chicago Cubs jersey to a Pacers preseason game on Saturday and wore a Los Angeles Dodgers jersey to Indiana's game on Monday during Game 1 of the NLCS.

Haliburton is from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, which is just about an hour away from Milwaukee, so if he were to have an MLB team, it would seemingly be the Brewers. However, he's clearly grown to dislike Milwaukee—or at least its sports teams—in recent years.

The Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks are division rivals and see each other four times a year. Their rivalry has intensified over the last two years as well, since Indiana has eliminated Milwaukee in the playoffs in each of the last two years.

As if Haliburton didn't have enough of a reason not to like the Bucks, his former teammate Myles Turner signed with Milwaukee this offseason after spending the first 10 years of his career in Indiana. Turner also called out Pacers fans following his exit.

Haliburton won't have the chance to take on the Bucks during the season since he's out for the year with a torn Achilles he suffered in Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The 25-year-old is coming off a season in which he averaged 18.6 points and 9.2 assists before putting together one of the most memorable postseason runs in recent memory.

Maybe Haliburton isn't trolling the Brewers and just happens to be a fan of both the Cubs and Dodgers, though that seems unlikely. If Milwaukee advances to the World Series and Haliburton wears either a Seattle Mariners or Toronto Blue Jays jersey, fans will know for sure his intention behind the jerseys.
