Indiana Pacers’ star guard Tyrese Haliburton exited the game against the Boston Celtics on Monday night in the second quarter due to a left hamstring strain. Haliburton, who will undergo an MRI on Tuesday, suffered the injury while driving to the hoop, making a sudden stop that caused him to slip and do the splits. Teammates assisted him back to the locker room, and at halftime, the Pacers ruled him out for the remainder of the game. Before leaving, Haliburton contributed seven points and six assists in 13 minutes of play.
Rick Carlisle, the head coach of the Pacers, described the injury as a “very deflating moment” and expressed hope that it is not a serious setback. Haliburton has been a key player for the team, leading in points and assists entering Monday’s game, with an average of 24.2 points and 12.7 assists across 32 games. The Pacers, who reached the finals of the NBA’s inaugural in-season tournament, are currently in seventh place in the Eastern Conference.
Despite the emotional challenge of facing the best team in basketball (the Celtics) and dealing with Haliburton’s injury, the Pacers staged an impressive comeback in the third quarter, securing a 133-131 victory. Carlisle commended the team’s amazing effort in overcoming adversity during the game.
