After leaving the Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton and the Celtics’ Jayson Tatum’s Game 2 injuries…
The situation for the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals just got worse. Yes, following a hard road defeat to the Boston Celtics in Game 2, they now trail 0-2 in the series.
That follows a Game 1 in which they let the victory elude them. Nevertheless, Tyrese Haliburton’s situation following the second game is a more urgent concern.
In the third quarter of Game 2, Jayson Tatum seemed to be injured and left the game. Later on, it was discovered that the ailment was a hamstring strain. The squad lost the game when the standout point guard for the Celtics decided not to play again.
Tyrese Haliburton’s injury was updated by Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle following the game, according to ESPN.
According to Carlisle, the star guard worsened a January injury he had sustained. When they return to Indiana for the next two games of the series, his status will be ascertained.
After the game, Carlisle remarked, “He was sore at halftime.” “He spent the whole halftime working on his project. He came out, tried his best, and gave it everything he had.
It wasn’t going well, but I can’t read minds because I haven’t discussed it with him directly. After determining that he needed to be worked on in the back, the trainers ruled him out.
A key component of the Pacers’ success this season has been Haliburton, who is a member of the 2024 All-NBA Second Team. Actually, Haliburton was responsible for nearly all of Indiana’s offensive production before to the deal for Pascal Siakam. Indiana will suffer a great deal if they lose him at such a crucial point in the season.
