Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton could be taking their rivalry on the court into the wrestling ring.
The New York Knicks star hinted at the possibility of him and the Indiana Pacers point guard squaring off in a WWE match.
“I’m never going to say never,” Brunson said. “But maybe we can speak it into existence.”

There was no wrestling match then, but Brunson isn’t ruling out the idea of squaring off in the future.
In the meantime, the two will continue exciting fans on the basketball court after having career years last season. Brunson put up 28.7 points and 6.7 assists per game while Haliburton dropped 20.1 points and led the league in assists with 10.9 per game.
New York and Indiana gave fans a thrilling seven-game battle in the playoffs with Haliburton’s Pacers ultimately coming out on top to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
