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.
The Pacers ended up losing the first two games without him but managed to bounce back for a three-game winning streak at the expense of the Philadelphia 76ers (134-122), Phoenix Suns (133-131), and Memphis Grizzlies (116-110).
Despite their string of recent wins, Haliburton's presence will be crucial for the Pacers' playoff push. They are currently sixth in the East with a 27-20 record.

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).

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.
