Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton may miss Game 6 of NBA Finals

The Indiana Pacers are preparing for the possibility of not having Tyrese Haliburton available to play in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, coach Rick Carlisle said in a radio interview on Wednesday morning.
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers are preparing for the possibility of not having Tyrese Haliburton available to play in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, coach Rick Carlisle said in a radio interview on Wednesday morning.
Haliburton has been dealing with a lower right leg injury throughout the series and it worsened during Monday's Game 5 loss. Haliburton played through it for most of his 34 minutes, but failed to make a field goal in the game and Indiana lost to Oklahoma City 120-109 — falling behind 3-2 in the title series.
Now facing a win-or-else scenario, there is a chance Haliburton does not play in Game 6 on Thursday.
"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," Carlisle said on Indianapolis radio station 107.5 The Fan.
Haliburton, part of the team that won Olympic gold in Paris for USA Basketball last year, was undergoing evaluation Tuesday to determine the extent of the injury.
