Haliburton Booed at SummerSlam Amid Achilles Recovery

Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, a well-known WWE fan, attended WWE SummerSlam at MetLife Stadium while recovering from a torn Achilles. Haliburton, previously reliant on a scooter, showed signs of recovery by moving with a boot and crutches. He was heavily booed by New York Knicks fans still upset over the Pacers' playoff victory, but he played into his 'villain' role and encouraged the crowd's reaction. During the event, Haliburton lent his crutch to John Cena for an in-ring stunt in Cena's match against Cody Rhodes. His rivalry with Knicks fans, fueled by playoff antics and social media activity, has heightened his profile in New York sports. Haliburton's appearance at SummerSlam underscores his resilience and growing crossover appeal in both basketball and wrestling circles.
