Tyrese Haliburton, the Indiana Pacers’ star point guard, is back on the injury list. After only recently returning to the court from a yearlong absence, Haliburton will miss at least two weeks with a mild left hamstring strain.
The Setback No One Wanted
This is a brutal blow for the Pacers, who were surely pumped to have their guy back. Coach Rick Carlisle confirmed the news on October 28, just ahead of their game against the Philadelphia 76ers. A mild left hamstring strain means their floor general is out for a minimum of two weeks. You gotta wonder what this means for their early season momentum.
A Return Cut Short
Remember that excitement? Haliburton was just seen high-fiving fans and warming up on October 7 for a preseason game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It was a big deal, getting him back out there after being off the court for an entire year. Now, just weeks later, he’s back on the shelf. It’s a tough break to say the least.
The Pacers will have to navigate without their star for at least a couple of weeks, starting with that matchup against the 76ers. It’s a huge challenge, and you know they’ll be looking forward to getting their guy back healthy.
