Is Tyrese Haliburton playing tonight against Cavaliers? Latest on Pacers point guard's availability (Jan. 14)

Tyrese Haliburton is unavailable for the Indiana Pacers’ crucial matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. The star point guard was earlier listed as doubtful on the injury report due to left hamstring soreness.

The Pacers faced the Cavaliers on Sunday, securing an impressive 108-93 victory at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. However, Haliburton sustained a hamstring injury during the game, forcing him to exit early. He did not return for the second half after heading to the locker room in the second quarter.

Before his departure, the two-time All-Star logged 18 minutes, contributing two points, one rebound, five assists, one steal and one block. He struggled offensively, shooting 1 of 5 from the field, including 0 of 2 from 3-point range.

Haliburton had a slow start to the season, which contributed to Indiana’s sluggish beginning. However, the Paris Olympics gold medalist has regained his form, playing a pivotal role in the Pacers’ resurgence. Indiana has won seven of its last 10 games, climbing up the Eastern Conference standings.

This season, Tyrese Haliburton is averaging 18.1 points on 44.5% shooting, including 36.0% from beyond the arc. He also contributes 3.5 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

The Pacers currently sit in fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings with a 22-18 record through 40 games. Haliburton’s unavailability will be a big hit for Indiana who looks to maintain its momentum.
