Tyrese Haliburton has looked like a much worse version of himself as the NBA Finals have gone on and that's explained by a calf strain serious enough that the Indiana Pacers had him undergo an MRI. The buzzer-beating enthusiast was seen sporting a significant limp after Game 5, in which he managed only four points and zero field goals.
Over in the takeosphere, conversation has shifted from trying to figure out what's wrong with Haliburton and crushing him for his lackluster performance to debating whether he should have been allowed to play at far less than 100% and what he should do in Game 6 on Thursday night.
