First, the Indiana Pacers guard talked about it in an interview with Bleacher Report's Taylor Rooks. Then, Szczerbiak addressed it after the Knicks' game against the Toronto Raptors last night.

"I just want to address something that I said about Tyrese Haliburton being a wannabe All-Star. I want to apologize personally to Tyrese Haliburton," Szczerbiak started off.

"He's a wonderful young player, he's definitely in the All-Star conversation along with guys like Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson. It's going to be interesting to see who makes it," the former player continued. "All those three players are wonderful players."

Haliburton has been averaging 19.5 points, 4 rebounds, and 10.7 assists per game this season.
