Anyone else woke up this morning thinking that, by the end of the day, they would get to see the Oklahoma City Thunder squad lift their first NBA championship trophy since 1979, when they were called the Seattle Supersonics? If you did, then the Indiana Pacers, especially Tyrese Haliburton, did their part to not manifest that belief into reality. With the Pacers now having won Game 6, the Finals series goes to Game 7 for the first time since 2016. It will be the ultimate do-or-die game, with everyone needing to be at their best. So, Haliburton’s girlfriend, Jade Jones, is setting some priorities and looking to multitask during the upcoming days.
In the aftermath of Game 6, Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton caught up with SportsCenter, offering a quick update on his injury situation. Giving credit where it’s due, he said, “My family, you know, my girl Jade, is staying on me to keep doing the treatment. When the people aren’t there, you know, she’s like—we’re trying to… she wants to watch Love Island right now. She’s like, ‘Before we put it on, we gotta, you know, put something on the calf.’”
Now that’s commitment. Because sure, Haliburton’s going to heal eventually—but missing an episode of Love Island? Unforgivable. Thankfully, with Jade running point on recovery and reality TV, it’s clear the household knows how to multitask.
This is a developing story.
