Haliburton Plays Through Injury in Pacers’ Loss<\/h2>\n\nIn Game 5 of the NBA Finals, Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton insisted on playing despite a right calf strain, demonstrating his commitment to the team.\n\nDespite initial concerns and an apparent aggravation of the injury during the first quarter, Haliburton returned to the game after halftime, although his production was limited.\n\nHaliburton scored four points, matching his lowest scoring record in the playoffs, and failed to score any field goals for the first time in his postseason career.\n\n\n

It’s the Final. I’ve worked my whole life to be here and I want to be on the court to compete, help my teammates in any way I can.<\/p>Tyrese Haliburton<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nPacers coach Rick Carlisle acknowledged that Haliburton wasn’t 100%, but he didn’t expect him to miss any games, especially with Indiana’s season on the line.\n\nThe Pacers are now down 3-2 in the series, and the sixth game will be played in Indianapolis on Thursday.\n\n\n

He’s not one hundred percent. There are many players in the series who aren’t.<\/p>Rick Carlisle<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nIn the fifth game, Haliburton recorded six assists and seven rebounds in 34 minutes, despite his physical limitations.\n\nPacers forward Pascal Siakam, who led the team with 28 points, praised Haliburton’s resilience and his impact on the team.\n\n\n

He’s a fighter. He’s been our rock all year. He’s a big reason why we’re here. I don’t know exactly what’s going on, but I know he’s fighting and he’ll give us everything he’s got.<\/p>Pascal Siakam<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe loss on Monday was the first time all postseason that the Pacers lost consecutive games.\n\nHaliburton emphasized the need for the team to stay strong and ready for game six.\n\n\n

We’ve had our backs against the wall many different times in the last two years and we’ve had to find different ways to win. The way this year has gone, nobody said this was going to be sweet.<\/p>Tyrese Haliburton<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
