Haliburton Setback
Indiana's Tyrese Haliburton suffered a strained left hamstring and will miss time as team doctors work on a recovery timeline. He had returned to action for the first four games after missing 16 months while recovering from a torn Achilles. The guard had been averaging 21.8 points, 9.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds while shooting 52 percent and logging 33 minutes per game.
Team Injury Concerns
The Pacers already had four of their five starters on the injury report for a recent game. Ivica Zubac was ruled out with a left ankle sprain. T.J. McConnell has a right hamstring strain and has not played this season. Ben Sheppard tore his left meniscus, and Johnny Furphy underwent surgery on his right ACL. Andrew Nembhard is also questionable with neck soreness.
Wider Context
Haliburton joins other star players sidelined early in the season, including Oklahoma City's Jalen Williams, Minnesota's Anthony Edwards and Toronto's Kawhi Leonard. Last season the Pacers won just 19 games, the lowest total in franchise history, while he sat out the entire year.
