NBA All-Star Tyrese Haliburton recently made headlines for wearing a Shohei Ohtani Los Angeles Dodgers jersey on the bench during a preseason game between the Indiana Pacers and San Antonio Spurs.
The Dodgers are in the middle of a National League Championship Series matchup against the the Milwaukee Brewers, who Haliburton grew up cheering for as a Wisconsin native.
However, Haliburton suddenly stopped supporting the Brewers after an incident that occurred last summer. The 25-year-old was scheduled to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at American Family Field, but those plans changed late.
The Pacers had just eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the 2023 NBA playoffs, and Haliburton believes that was a factor in the Brewers canceling his appearance.
