Tyrese Haliburton’s father, John Haliburton, has spoken out on his on-court clash with Giannis Antetokounmpo after Tuesday’s Pacers-Bucks series finale, showing remorse for his actions. 

After Indiana closed out the first-round playoff series over Milwaukee, John Haliburton got onto the court and started smack-talking the Bucks’ behemoth. Antetokounmpo did not take lightly to the move. 

Now, hours after the elder Haliburton’s defying act, he has posted his first message on X of his own words since 2018 about the incident. 

‘I sincerely apologize to Giannis, the Milwaukee Bucks and the Pacers organization for my actions following tonight’s game,’ John said on social media. ‘This was not a good reflection on our sport or my son and I will not make that mistake again.’
