Knicks' Brunson open to WWE match vs. Pacers' Haliburton
Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton could be making a return to WWE soon.
After appearing alongside Haliburton at WWE SmackDown in June, Brunson is leaving the door open for a possible future wrestling match against the Indiana Pacers guard.
"I'm never gonna say never," the New York Knicks star said recently when asked about squaring off against Haliburton. "But maybe we can speak it into existence. Maybe we can."

Brunson and Haliburton faced off during the June 28 broadcast of SmackDown from Madison Square Garden, joining Logan Paul and LA Knight in the ring during a Money in the Bank qualifying match. Their appearance came a little over a month after the Pacers defeated the Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Brunson and Haliburton will meet on the court for the first time this season Oct. 25 when the Knicks host the Pacers in their home opener at Madison Square Garden.
