Fans of the Indiana Pacers are eager for a Tyrese Haliburton injury update after the star point guard was sidelined due to a hamstring injury on Jan. 8. Since then, he has been unavailable in ten of their last eleven games. He suited up against the Portland Trail Blazers on Jan. 19, dropping 21 points and 17 assists before missing their next five.

Tyrese Haliburton injury update and latest status for game against Boston Celtics

Pacers fans waiting to hear a Tyrese Haliburton injury update before they take on the Boston Celtics will be pleased to hear that he might be ready for his much-awaited comeback.

As per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the team is optimistic that Haliburton will return to the lineup and be available to play against the Celtics on Tuesday (Jan. 30).

Haliburton, who was named an All-Star starter for the first time in his career, is a crucial part of coach Rick Carlisle's offense. The young point guard has rewarded his coach's trust in him by leading his team and the league in assists per game at 12.6. Aside from that, he is also their leader in ppg average, putting up 23.6 points in his 34 appearances thus far this season.

He is certainly a welcome addition when they face the Boston Celtics, against whom they have a 2-2 record this year, including their game in the In-Season Tournament.

Their upcoming matchup will be the last time they'll face each other in the 2023-24 regular season, which makes grabbing a win crucial as both teams hope to gain the advantage in their season series.
