The NBA season is long and very hard on the physical level. This shows, above all, in the two franchises that dispute the NBA finals that, approximately, end up reaching 100 games Disputed in a single course, something that ostensibly wears the players.
This is the case of Tyrese Haliburton, the star of the Indiana Pacers who has been in the right leg discomfort for a few days. Nails discomfort that the base worsened in the fifth match against Oklahoma City Thunder that his team lost for 120-109, leaving the 3-2 series in favor of the Thunder.
A meeting in which Haliburton was not himself, with an injury that came soon in the meeting. But the base of the Pacers continued to play and once the meeting was finished, the tests performed have determined that Haliburton has a distension in the clip of the right leg and will undergo a magnetic resonance to determine gravity.
Haliburton's performance
With this injury, the Indiana player had one of his worst games with the Pacers. In this fifth encounter, Haliburton ended with a 0/6 in field shots and only 4 points from the free throw lineadding that with 7 rebounds and 6 assists in 34 minutes of play.
His role on the track was not reduced, but it was noted that the player was not comfortable, much less aggressive and having more difficulties when deciding, also due to the excellent defense of the Thunder. At no time did he find his rhythm and the lack of success in field shots was good proof of this.
However, taking into account that, at most, the NBA has two meetings left, Tyrese Haliburton has already assured that he will force to be in the 6th gameif you have a minimal option to play. In addition, if Indiana manages to win the match, the base would also force to play seventh and definitive that would be played in Oklahoma City.
Haliburton's role
It is clear that Indiana needs it if you want to trace the tie and win the NBA ring. Haliburton is a player who monopolizes the ball and operates the attack of the Pacers, in addition to contributing and adding in score and, sometimes, loading the rebound.
With a high percentage of success, the greatest example came in the first game against the Thunder, when Tyrese Haliburton gave his team victory thanks to a shot in the last sighwhich was also possible thanks to an epic comeback of the Pacers.
