NBA Rumors: Tyrese Haliburton Will Miss Game 3 Against Celtics
Another star player goes down against Boston
The Celtics’ road to the NBA Finals reportedly will get easier Saturday night.
Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton will not play Game 3 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, according to The Athletic. The two-time All-Star left Game 2 on Thursday due to a hamstring injury, which was a factor in head coach Rick Carlisle not bringing back his starters against Boston.
Haliburton underwent an MRI on Saturday and his injury is considered day-to-day, according to The Athletic. The 24-year-old suffered a similar injury in January, which he missed 10 games for.
Boston isn’t expected to have Luke Kornet for Game 3 due to a wrist injury, and Jrue Holiday was added to the injury report Saturday due to a non-COVID illness.
The Celtics hold a 2-0 series lead heading into Game 3 on Saturday. Tipoff is scheduled at 8:30 p.m. ET.
