On Thursday, with his season on the line, Tyrese Haliburton put his health at risk to keep his championship dream alive. He decided to suit up despite dealing with a calf strain, that is reportedly a two-week injury. Fortunately, the gamble paid off as the point guard’s 14 points and five assists gave Pacers the spark they needed to beat OKC. And tonight, Haliburton is hoping to have the same impact, once again unbothered by his injury heading into the biggest game of his career.
While entering OKC’s Paycom Center for the highly-anticipated Game 7, Haliburton had a quick chat with ESPN’s Malika Andrews and confirmed his status for the clash, “Calf’s good. I’m ready to go.” Well, he was initially deemed as questionable due to the calf issues, but it’s clear that Tyrese is not going to miss a chance at glory because of the injury. He will suit up tonight.
