US EditionPacers Preparing Two Game 6 Scenarios: One with Tyrese Haliburton and One without. What that Looks Like
MARION COUNTY, INDIANA, JUN 18 – Tyrese Haliburton’s right calf strain puts his availability for the elimination Game 6 in doubt as the Pacers trail 3-2 in the NBA Finals, needing a win to extend the series.
- The Indiana Pacers face a must-win Game 6 on Thursday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder with Tyrese Haliburton's status uncertain due to a right calf strain.
- Haliburton aggravated a calf injury during the early stages of Indiana’s defeat in the fifth game of the series held in Oklahoma City on Monday, compounding a previous ankle problem, and had an MRI on Tuesday to evaluate the extent of the injury.
- Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said the team is preparing two scenarios—one with Haliburton playing and one without—and a decision will likely come on Thursday afternoon or evening.
- Haliburton has been contributing around 11 points, just over 4 assists, and a couple of steals per game in the series. He expressed his determination to play while placing full confidence in the medical team’s decisions.
- If Haliburton cannot play, the Pacers will depend on backup guard T.J. McConnell to fill the role as Indiana attempts to extend the series and keep their season alive.
