What happened: Tyrese Haliburton completed the locker room time trial during preseason camp. The work comes during the buildup to the 2026-27 NBA season.

Why it matters: Haliburton opened preseason in rhythm alongside Siakam, combining for 39 first-half points against Milwaukee. That form carries into camp for the same Haliburton who connected from deep earlier in preseason.

What to watch: Preseason continues ahead of the 2026-27 opener. Haliburton's minutes and shooting form are the early markers.
