Is Tyrese Haliburton hurt? Pacers star leaves postgame press conference with noticeable limp after Game 2

4 hours ago 1

Sunday's Game 2 of the NBA Finals didn't go how the Pacers may have envisioned.

After coming into the game with momentum thanks to Tyrese Haliburton's Game 1 heroism, Indiana instead fell well short against Oklahoma City in Game 2. A 123-107 loss for the Pacers tied the Finals at a game apiece as the series now heads to Indiana.

However, one of the most notable postgame storylines Sunday was the health of Haliburton. The Pacers star, whose rough first-half performance played a role in his team's loss, was seen limping out of his press conference.

There have been no official indications from the Pacers or league insiders that Haliburton is dealing with an injury — or, at least, not one that would prevent him from playing in Wednesday's Game 3. However, the Pacers star was visibly hobbled after Sunday's matchup.

After a few reporters posted that Haliburton walked into his postgame press conference with a slight limp, video of his exit from the presser was also released. Fieldhouse Files' Scott Agness showed how Haliburton was walking a bit slower as if he were dealing with pain:

If that video was any indication, Haliburton, who struggled in the first half of Game 2 before heating up far too late to structure a Pacers comeback, may not be at 100 percent.

But with the star not mentioning any injuries to the media and no official information about a potential Haliburton injury, the expectation is that he'll be good to go for Game 3, whether he's dealing with bumps and bruises or not.
