US EditionTyrese Haliburton gets warning from NBA for dance, but no fine, AP source says
- Tyrese Haliburton, guard for the Indiana Pacers, was issued a warning but avoided a fine for his celebratory dance following his game-winning three-pointer in the second match of the Eastern Conference semifinals versus Cleveland on Tuesday.
- The celebration followed the Pacers' comeback from 20 points down and built on a history of the dance linked to Sam Cassell and previously fined by the NBA for being considered an obscene gesture.
- Haliburton expected a fine but described the moment as just right, saying, "I've been waiting for that," while other players like LeBron James and Eddie House have been fined for similar celebrations.
- The Pacers won the game 120-119, taking a 2-0 series lead over the top-seeded Cavaliers, with Games 3 and 4 scheduled in Indianapolis on Friday and Sunday.
- The warning to Haliburton highlights the NBA's enforcement discretion, and the Pacers’ strong start raises their chances to advance further in the playoffs.
