Pacers, Haliburton to face Timberwolves at Hilton Coliseum

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton, a two-time NBA All-Star and former Iowa State standout, will return to his collegiate home as the Pacers face the Minnesota Timberwolves in a preseason exhibition game at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa, on October 7 at 6 p.m. The game marks the fourth time an NBA exhibition has been held at the venue. Haliburton, who was previously honored at Hilton Coliseum in March 2025 for winning an Olympic Gold Medal, is the first Iowa State men's basketball player to achieve that distinction.
