INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Given the way Indiana guard Tyrese Haliburton was limping on his way out of the postgame news conference after Game 5 of the NBA Finals, it’s safe to assume he’s a fan of the schedule right about now.
The rest that’s built into the NBA Finals can be a good thing, especially now
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Given the way Indiana guard Tyrese Haliburton was limping on his way out of the postgame news conference after Game 5 of the NBA Finals, it’s safe to assume he’s a fan of the schedule right about now.
Put simply, he could use a couple of days off – at least.
Haliburton has a lower leg injury – nobody’s saying exactly what it is, whether it’s ankle or calf or something else – and it seems to be the sort that if this were a back-to-back situation in December, he’d be missing at least one game. But these are the finals, this is June, there no back-to-backs in the playoffs and when the league gets to the last series two-day breaks between games aren’t uncommon.
Amen to that, the Pacers are probably saying right about now.
