The Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton is averaging more than 20 points and 10 assists per game while shooting 41% from 3-point range. He's making a strong NBA All-Star bid.

Never mind all that. What's with the headband?

Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana explains why Haliburton debuted the headband earlier this week: "He said it was the first NBA game he had worn a headband. The reason? He simply needs a haircut."

Haliburton told Johnson he has a commercial shoot coming on Saturday, so he's letting it grow until that morning, when he will get a haircut. That means one more game with a headband before he gets a fresh cut.
