The Indiana Pacers only managed two victories during their difficult six-game road trip. Unfortunately, once they arrived back in Indiana, nothing improved. In the first of their three home games against the Denver Nuggets, Rick Carlisle’s team lost 114-109. Fans will be hoping that Tyrese Haliburton is available to assist the Pacers end their losing streak as they prepare to play the Philadelphia 76ers.
During the Boston Celtics game on January 8, Tyrese Haliburton sustained a hamstring injury. According to early rumours, the pass-first guard will undergo another evaluation in two weeks. The organisation had first said that Hali would be out for the whole six-game road trip with the Pacers. Haliburton did, however, advance and was able to suit up for the game against the Portland Trail Blazers on January 19.
Hali hasn’t worn a suit for any of the games since then. The news that Tyrese Haliburton won’t be playing in tonight’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers will dismay fans.
This is Tyrese Haliburton’s breakthrough season. The floor general has been putting up All-NBA stats, averaging 23.6 points and 12.6 assists per game. But for the Indiana team, Hali’s injury-plagued year has become a liability. This season, Haliburton has already missed ten games. The Pacers have had a dismal 4-6 record while he has been out. Haliburton will, regrettably, be absent from at least two more games.
Prior to the Denver Nuggets game on January 23, Rick Carlisle provided a significant update about the 23-year-old’s ailment. The All-Star will miss three games and would get a new evaluation on January 27, according to the Pacers head coach.
The injury list for the Philadelphia 76ers now includes several new players. Nevertheless, the Sixers will start the game as the favourites since Tyrese Maxey and reigning MVP Joel Embiid are available. Embiid will be in prime shape going into the Pacers game after scoring 70 points in the previous game. Can they stop the large man’s deadly fadeaways?
