What happened: Tyrese Haliburton followed through on an offensive possession to score two points during Friday night's 7 p.m. ET regular-season tipoff. Wearing No. 0, the seventh-year guard also signed custom shoes and thanked fans in a pregame address before taking the court.

Why it matters: Friday's outing marks Haliburton's first game on his home floor since the 2025 Finals after checking in for Media Day in late September to open the 2026-27 campaign.

What to watch: Haliburton continues his on-court progression as the 2026-27 regular-season schedule gets underway.
