"The sense of community has always meant a lot to me, and I'm wise enough to understand that I wouldn't be where I am today without the people who supported me growing up," Haliburton said. "You can think back to all the people who had such an impact on me — from teachers to coaches, just community members in general."

Haliburton has now switched from crutches to walking on his feet two months after the surgery. However, the road to recovery is long and not without challenges, both mentally and physically.

"I have good days and bad days," Haliburton said during his youth basketball camp in Northeast Wisconsin. "It's a long process. This injury usually takes about a year to get back to 100%. Every little progression is exciting for me. To be here [in Oshkosh] and walking, it means a lot. As time goes on, the more I'm able to do, the more exciting it gets."

However, it would be worth watching how the Pacers navigate their next season as they deal with Haliburton's absence.
