OSHKOSH – Indiana Pacers guard and Oshkosh North alum Tyrese Haliburton was back in the Oshkosh North gym on a summer day. It was like he was back in elementary school or middle school just at another basketball camp.
But this time, at the CareSource Tyrese Haliburton Impact Camp, campers wore shirts with Haliburton's likeness on them in Indiana Pacers colors.
"I grew up going to North basketball camp from the time I was in first grade to the rest of my life essentially," Haliburton said. "I have a lot of memories in this gym, so I keep joking with these kids, I'm like, 'If there's anywhere I feel like I'm not going to miss it's in this building right here.'"

It's the third summer in a row that Haliburton has hosted a camp at Oshkosh North and each year he's come back after a major life event. The first summer he returned after winning a gold medal at the Olympics, last summer he was coming off a trip to the NBA Finals where he suffered a torn Achilles tendon and was walking around the camp in a walking boot. This year he returned, not long after getting married.
