Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton’s standout fourth season encountered a concerning hurdle on Monday after the guard suffered a hamstring injury against the Boston Celtics.
The Pacers lost Haliburton late in the second quarter after a sequence that saw the dynamic playmaker awkwardly slide while driving to the rim. Haliburton appeared to be in immediate pain following the scary slip and eventually had to be carried into the locker room by teammates after staying on the floor for a few moments.
As the game returned from halftime, Indiana shared an unfortunate update on Haliburton’s condition, announcing the 23-year-old would not return due to a left hamstring strain. The 2022 All-Star ended his night with seven points, two rebounds and five assists on 3 of 5 shooting in 13 minutes of action.
