Tyrese Haliburton said ‘the plan’ is to play Game 6 with a calf strain. But if it doesn’t happen, what will the pacers do at point guard? Last year in this same situation, they turned to Andrew Nembhard and he was awesome, @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/64351… – 2:13 PM

Tyrese Haliburton (right calf strain) was a full participant at Pacers’ walk-through. They don’t expect a final call about whether he can play until hours before the game.
“I’m going to do everything in my power to play,” he said. – 1:00 PM

Tyrese Haliburton said “yeah probably. That’d probably be the case. But we aren’t in the regular season.” When asked if this would keep him out a few weeks in the regular season. – 12:44 PM

Interested to hear the results of Haliburton’s MRI. I recorded 23 injuries labeled calf strains in the NBA during the regular season. Only one case did not result in time lost with the quickest turnaround being 3 days (1 game lost). – 5:14 PM

Report: Tyrese Haliburton has left calf strain, to get MRI. He said he is playing in Game 6.
If this were the regular season, Haliburton likely would be out 7-10 days, but Thursday night is Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

“Once the Pacers and Haliburton get the results back on this MRI, on that calf strain, they’re going to be able to identify the severity and then huddle and map out exactly what the plan will be going into Game 6.”

More on this storyline
For Daigneault, hobbled or not, he doesn’t want to take any chances on seeing the Thunder underestimating Haliburton’s ability to help his team even the NBA Finals, 3-3, and force a potential Game 7. “Haliburton’s a great player. One thing we know is you don’t underestimate great players. So, in the case that he plays, we’re expecting his best punch,” Daigneault said. “ -via Clutch Points / June 18, 2025
Joel Lorenzi: Isaiah Hartenstein on Tyrese Haliburton’s availability “We’re preparing as if he’s gonna play.” -via Twitter / June 18, 2025
