Tyrese Haliburton Joins "NBA on Prime" as Player Contributor
Haliburton to make his broadcast debut on Dec. 9 during NBA Nightcap
Two-time All-Star to deliver behind-the-scenes content on recovery journey for NBA on Prime viewers throughout the 2025-26 season
CULVER CITY, CALIF. - December 9, 2025 - Prime Video today announced Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton will join NBA on Prime as a player contributor making select appearances throughout the 2025-26 season. Haliburton will make his debut tonight on NBA on Prime's postgame show, NBA Nightcap, following the Emirates NBA Cup Quarterfinals doubleheader featuring the Miami Heat at Orlando Magic (6:00 p.m. ET) and New York Knicks at Toronto Raptors (8:30 p.m. ET). As part of his role, Haliburton will document his recovery from an Achilles injury sustained during the NBA Finals through short video features, offering viewers an intimate look at the dedication and work required to return to elite performance. This content will be integrated into NBA on Prime coverage throughout the season.
"I'm excited to join NBA on Prime and share my basketball knowledge in a different way with viewers around the world," said Haliburton. "This is a great opportunity to give fans an inside look at what it takes to compete at the highest level, in a unique storytelling approach by partnering with an incredible platform like Amazon. The NBA on Prime team is doing something special, and I'm looking forward to helping bring fans closer to the game."
The two-time NBA All-Star entered the league in 2020 and quickly established himself as one of the game's best young point guards. Known for his exceptional court vision, three-point shooting, and leadership, Haliburton has become the face of the Indiana Pacers franchise and helped lead the team to compete in the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament Championship game in 2023 and all the way to the NBA Finals earlier this year.
"Tyrese represents this generation of NBA stars, and we're excited to bring his unique perspective and personality to our coverage," says Amina Hussein, Prime Sports Head of On-Air Talent. "His willingness to share his journey back to the court with our viewers demonstrates the authenticity and transparency we're bringing to our NBA coverage."
The Emirates NBA Cup Quarterfinals tip off tonight on Prime Video, starting with NBA on Prime Pregame at 5:30 p.m. ET. Coverage continues tomorrow, Dec. 10, when the Phoenix Suns visit the Oklahoma City Thunder at 7:30 p.m. ET, followed by San Antonio Spurs at Los Angeles Lakers at 10 p.m. ET. Prime Video is the exclusive home of the NBA Cup Semifinals and Championship on Saturday, Dec. 13 and Tuesday, Dec. 16, respectively.
