According to Fieldhouse Files reporter Scott Agness, although Indiana Pacers' backcourt core Tyrese Haliburton did not play much in this Paris Olympics and often spent time on the bench, he still hopes to continue to represent the US team in the World Series in the future. Agness said that Haliburton has informed Grant Hill, the operations director of the US team, and he welcomes Hill's invitation to him to participate in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. In an interview with Agness, Haliburton said: I have told Grant, and I have told him many times, that I am willing to represent the US team in the World Series, and he can invite me at any time.

In the previous Paris Olympics, Haliburton played only 3 games as the 12th player of the US team, with an average playing time of only 8.8 minutes per game, averaging 2.7 points, 0.7 assists, 0.3 steals, 0.3 turnovers and 1 foul, shooting 60.6%, 3-point shooting 50%, and an average plus-minus of +0.3. In fact, Haliburton hardly got any chance to play in these games, and his playing time was basically concentrated in garbage time. His role in this American team was very limited, and he did not play much substantial help to the American team's championship.

In the NBA regular season last season, Haliburton played a total of 69 times for the Pacers, averaging 32.2 minutes per game, averaging 20.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 10.9 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.7 blocks, 2.3 turnovers, shooting 47.7%, three-point shooting 36.4%, free throw shooting 85.5%. In the playoffs, Haliburton played a total of 15 times for the team, averaging 34.8 minutes per game, averaging 18.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.7 blocks, 2.1 turnovers, shooting 48.8%, three-point shooting 37.9%, free throw shooting 85%. Haliburton performed very well last season. He was the assist leader in the NBA last season. He was also selected for the All-NBA Third Team and was selected for the All-Star Team again. Most importantly, under his leadership, the Pacers made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals despite being underdogs.

After all, Haliburton is only a 24-year-old young player. The US team in this Olympics is even more star-studded. Several historical players are also playing for the US team again, which is also a very rare scene. By the next Los Angeles Olympics, several veterans of the US team are likely to fade out of the historical stage, and young players like Haliburton will get more opportunities to perform. Perhaps the next Olympics will be his real stage.
