Haliburton had stated that he wanted to do &#8220;everything in his power&#8221; to play in Thursday&#8217;s decisive game, which included a wide range of treatments: hyperbaric chambers, needles, massages, electronic stimulation, and special bandages, to help his strain in the right calf, a diagnosis confirmed by an MRI on Tuesday.\n\nThe player had been dealing with a right lower leg injury throughout the series, but the calf strain worsened in Game 5, although he remained in the game playing 34 minutes. However, Haliburton didn&#8217;t score any field goals and tied his playoff career low with four points, as Indiana lost the game.\n\nHaliburton averages 15.0 points, 7.2 assists, and 6.2 rebounds with 45% effectiveness in the first five games of the series.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We have a job to do tonight. We have to be ready to fight against a team that has been the best in the league all year. It&#8217;s a tough game. It&#8217;s an elimination game.
