Tyrese Haliburton, the Pacers All-Star point guard, will be subbing for Hall-of-Famer Steve Nash on LeBron James’ “Mind The Game” podcast today at 1:15 p.m. when they record a live episode at Fanatics Fest at the Javits Center in New York City. This episode comes more than two weeks into LeBron Watch after the four-time MVP, four-time NBA Finals MVP, 22-time All-Star and the NBA’s all-time leading scorer gave word to the Lakers that he will be leaving in free agency and playing his 24th NBA season elsewhere.Haliburton posted on his X (formerly Twitter) account “Tomorrow it’s time” and tagged James’ account @KingJames. Immediately his replies were filled with suggestions that James would be announcing that he would be signing for the Pacers including photoshopped pictures of James in a Pacers uniform.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIt should be noted, of course, that no reporting whatsoever has suggested that James could be on his way to Indiana. James’ agent, Rich Paul, appeared on the podcast of longtime sportscaster Max Kellerman and wrote out the names of several teams on a white board and the Pacers were not included. The consensus among NBA insiders appears to be that the most likely scenarios would be a return to Cleveland, Miami Golden State or Philadelphia.We’ll be watching and updating this story with whatever Haliburton and James say:1 / 15MIAMI, FL – MAY 30: LeBron James #6 of the Miami Heat defends against Paul George #24 of the Indiana Pacers during Game Six of the Eastern Conference Finals of the 2014 NBA Playoffs at American Airlines Arena on May 30, 2014 in Miami, Florida.(Mike Ehrmann, Getty Images)This article originally appeared on Indianapolis Star: What Tyrese Haliburton and LeBron said on ‘Mind The Game’ podcast
