Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton left this Monday night’s game against the Boston Celtics early due to an apparent leg injury.
Haliburton slipped on the floor as he was driving to the rim. The All-Star point guard immediately grabbed his hamstring after he went down.
The severity of Haliburton’s injury is unknown at the time. All we know is he needed his teammates to help him off the court.
Footage of Haliburton being carried off the hardwood surfaced on social media. It was an unfortunate scene for everyone involved with the Pacers.

If Haliburton has to miss an extended period of time, that would be a devastating blow to the Pacers.
Haliburton is averaging 24.2 points and 12.7 assists per game this season. The former first-round pick from Iowa State has become a household name over the past two years due to his incredible playmaking abilities.
We’re hoping Haliburton dodged a major injury.
