The Indiana Pacers, who lose 3-2 in the NBA finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, fear that Tyrese Haliburton suffers a relaxation in the right twin, the ESPN chain reported Tuesday.
Shams Charania, the most important 'insider' of the NBA today, explained in ESPN that Haliburton will undergo a magnetic resonance to determine the scope of the lesion.
Waiting to know whether or not he can count Haliburton, whose low would be a very hard blow, Indiana has run out of mistake after losing the fifth encounter on Monday and must win the sixth in Indianapolis this Thursday to force a seventh on Sunday back in Oklahoma.
Haliburton is the emblem of these amazing Pacers and the main protagonist of his extraordinary 'playoff', full of impossible traces and heroic moments.
The last one that signed the stellar base of Indiana occurred in the first meeting of the finals, when a winning basket was taken out of the hat in the absence of 0.3 seconds.
Haliburton dragged discomfort in the right leg but during the fifth game those problems were worsened and he was clearly furred physically.
The base ended up sealing one night for oblivion with a horrible statistic of 4 points (0 of 6 in field shots, 4 of 4 from the personnel line), 7 rebounds and 6 assists with 3 losses.
“They are the finals of the NBA. They are the finals, man. I have worked my whole life to be here and I want to be on the court competing, helping my teammates in everything I can,” he said Monday at a press conference after the fifth encounter.
“Today I was not well, at all, but I don't go through my mind not playing this type of games. If I can walk, I want to play. They understand it. It's what there is,” he added.
