Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton was hampered by a sore right calf as Indiana dropped Game 5 at Oklahoma City on Monday night to fall behind 3-2 in the NBA Finals. The injury, which limits Haliburton’s ability to play, has raised concerns about the Pacers’ ability to mount a comeback in the series.
Haliburton, a key player for the Pacers, is expected to play a role in the upcoming games, though his availability remains uncertain. The Pacers will need to rely on other players to step up and provide the necessary support to shift the momentum in their favor. However, with the series now at 3-2, the Thunder hold a significant advantage.
Despite the setback, the Pacers remain determined to fight back. The team’s coaching staff is evaluating Haliburton’s condition and will make decisions on his participation in the remaining games. Fans are watching closely to see if the Pacers can rally and make a statement in the final two games of the NBA Finals.
