Tyrese Haliburton, the 2024-25 New York Knicks slayer, was forced to sit out this past NBA season following a devastating achilles injury immediately followed by a horrific bout with shingles. The result, in part, was New York sports history.
Without their superstar, the Indiana Pacers fell from the second-best team in the league (by virtue of losing the NBA Finals last year after Haliburton went down early in Game 7), to having the second-worst record in 2025-26, beyond only the pathetic Washington Wizards (ironically now led by the prior playoffs’ Knicks killer, Trae Young). It has been about as bad a 12-month stretch as possible for Haliburton and the Pacers organization, but the 6’5″ guard out of Iowa State used his recovery time to officially launch a side hustle: Hollywood producer.
In April, The Hollywood Reporter broke the news of Haliburton’s Zero Doubt Creative launch and its partnership with Brent Montgomery’s Wheelhouse Entertainment. Today, on the day their debut-series (Time Out, produced by Zero Doubt Creative, Wheelhouse Sports and Portal A, which chronicles Haliburton’s grueling return to the court; you can watch the first episode below our Q&A) launches, Haliburton chatted with THR about his recovery, the longterm plans for Zero Doubt, and yes, watching the Knicks take home the title from his couch.
