Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton will play Thursday night in a must-win NBA Finals Game 6 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, coach Rick Carlisle told reporters pregame. Haliburton is dealing with a calf injury suffered in Game 5 on Monday. The Pacers trail the Thunder, 3-2, and need to force a Game 7 to continue the series.
Haliburton went through the team’s walkthrough, underwent various strength tests and will not have a minutes restriction, though he will be monitored “closely,” Carlisle said.
Pacers vs. Thunder prediction, odds, Game 6 best bets: Can Indy keep it close with Tyrese Haliburton injured?
Sam Quinn
Haliburton, the driving force behind Indiana’s surprising postseason run, struggled noticeably in the Game 5 loss. He finished with just four points and didn’t make a single field goal. Despite the off night, Haliburton has averaged 17.9 points and 9.1 assists during the playoffs and delivered the game-winning jumper to lift the Pacers to a Game 1 victory in the Finals.
In the first quarter of Game 5, Haliburton appeared to tweak his leg while driving to the basket against Thunder center Chet Holmgren. After falling to the floor and turning the ball over, Haliburton immediately reached for his calf. He exited the game shortly after and was later diagnosed with calf tightness, though he did return to the court later in the contest.
“He is going to be carefully evaluated over the next 36 hours and will likely be listed as questionable on the injury report and probably will be a game-time decision for Game 6,” Pacers coach Rick Carlisle told an Indianapolis radio station on Wednesday morning.
Haliburton made it clear he intended to push through the calf injury, signaling his desire to play despite the setback.
“I mean it’s the NBA Finals,” Haliburton said after the Game 5 loss. “It’s the Finals. I’ve worked my whole life to be here. It was not really a thought of mine to not play here. If I can walk, then I want to play.”
