Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton Gives Major Update on Wrist Injury

Indiana Pacers All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton seems to have been on a personal mission to clap back at The Athletic's anonymous player poll that voted him the league's most overrated player of late. The 6-foot-5 Iowa State product has notched three straight insane clutch moments for Indiana.

First, Haliburton ended the Pacers' series against the Milwaukee Bucks in five short games with a clutch overtime layup. Next, a go-ahead triple helped seal a 121-112 Game 1 win in Indiana's second-round series against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Most recently, he helped the Pacers mount a shocking rally from a 20-point deficit against the Cavaliers in Game 2, by scoring a whopping 11 points in the contest's last quarter. When Andrew Nembhard picked off a Max Strus inbounds pass with just 27.5 seconds left in regulation, the Pacers sought out a quick trey.

The Cavaliers' defense proved too restrictive, but Haliburton managed to draw contact while cutting inside for a layup. He made his first free throw and missed the second, but managed to grab the offensive rebound and run out to the 3-point line, where he promptly nailed the game-winning triple.

Haliburton finished the game with 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting from the field (2-of-2 from distance) and 3-of-5 shooting from the foul line, nine rebounds, four assists and one block in 36:02.

Ominously, Haliburton hurt his left wrist on his (non-shooting) hand during the Game 2 victory.
