Pacers Star Tyrese Haliburton to Miss Game 3 of Eastern Conference Finals with Hamstring Injury

Haliburton Injured in Game 2 Loss

Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton will miss Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals on Saturday due to a hamstring injury, league sources told ESPN. Haliburton suffered the injury in the third quarter of the Pacers' 126-110 loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 2 on Thursday night.

Pacers Hope for Short-Term Absence

The Pacers are hoping that Haliburton's injury is just a short-term aggravation. The 22-year-old guard missed 10 games earlier this season with a left hamstring injury.

"We're just going to have to see how he responds," Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. "We're hoping it's not a long-term thing, but we're not going to push it."

Haliburton's Absence a Blow to Pacers

Haliburton has been a key player for the Pacers this season, averaging 17.4 points, 9.6 assists, and 4.9 rebounds per game. He is also one of the NBA's best shooters, hitting 41.4% of his three-point attempts.

Haliburton's absence will be a major blow to the Pacers, who are already without All-Star forward Domantas Sabonis (facial fracture). The Pacers will need to find a way to replace Haliburton's production if they want to have a chance to win Game 3 and tie the series at 1-1.
