Pacers Star Breaks Assist Record During Historic Season

Last season, Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton emerged as one of the best playmakers in the NBA. Now in his 4th season, he's showing signs of even more improvement, with his recent form being especially impressive as he broke an all-time NBA record.

Haliburtons Impressive Season

At only 23 years old, Haliburton is already cementing his legacy as an elite playmaker. He has improved his career-high assists per game with each passing season and is currently on course to do that again as he leads the entire NBA with 12.5 per game.

If he maintains this pace, Haliburton is on track for a historically remarkable year, potentially landing among the top 15 highest assists per game season ever. What's even more impressive are his recent two performances, setting an all-time record of 32 assists with 0 turnovers in a 2-game period.

On top of his playmaking abilities, he also showcased an elite level of scoring. In addition to the 2 game record, he became 1 of only 5 players to ever score 30 points with 15 assists, all without turning the ball over once.

Still only in his 4th season as a pro, Haliburton could end up becoming one of the all-time greatest playmakers and his potential right now is looking limitless.

Only 5 players in NBA history have recorded a 30+ PTS, 15+ AST, 0 turnover game:
