Tyrese Haliburton Offers Special Invitation to Heckled Pacers Fan for Upcoming Indianapolis Game

Following the Knicks' advancement to the Eastern Conference Finals, fans flooded the streets on Friday. Among them was New York firefighter Hans Perez, who made his way to Madison Square Garden sporting an Indiana Pacers jersey—his beloved team, despite the Knicks' successes. On “The Pat McAfee Show,” he remarked, “I've worn my jersey throughout the playoffs to support my Pacers, but had never been close to the Garden wearing it.” He added that he was drawn to the energy outside, but instead felt the hostility from Knicks fans. After a viral moment from the show, McAfee invited him back, where star Tyrese Haliburton surprised him with an offer: “I want to bring you and a plus one to Game 4 in Indiana.” Haliburton assured Perez that the organization was thrilled to host him.
