Update on Tyrese Haliburton’s injury: The two-time All-Star’s status for the game against the Houston Rockets on February 6.
Tyrese Haliburton, a point guard with the Indiana Pacers, is listed as doubtful for Tuesday’s game against the Houston Rockets. As his recuperation from a left hamstring injury continues, he is being closely watched for injury management.
Having participated in four straight games, Haliburton has demonstrated that he has made great progress towards his full recovery. He has been limited to a certain number of minutes; in his previous game on Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets, he played 20 minutes after playing 22 in his first three games.
The Pacers ended their three-game losing run as they defeated the Hornets 115-99 in their lone meeting. Haliburton’s total contributions to the club were greatly diminished by being restricted to the bench. He has averaged 14.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 5.0 assists on 56.5% shooting, including 36.6% from three-point range.
On January 8, Tyrese Haliburton suffered a grade I hamstring injury while playing the Boston Celtics. At 3:11 in the second quarter, he attempted a drive past Derrick White and successfully collapsed the Celtics’ inside defence, which resulted in the injury.
But as Haliburton attempted to stop mid-dribble with Kristaps Porzingis’ defence protecting the rim, he lost the grounding of his pivot foot, which resulted in an unintentional full split. He had to be carried from the court to the changing area, and he never came back.
After January 8, he missed five straight games before returning on January 19 to play 35 minutes against the Trail Blazers. But after managing his injuries, he was unable to play consistently until January 30 against the Celtics, missing five more games.
In his seven career games against the Houston Rockets, Haliburton had a 6-1 record; he was 2-1 with the Sacramento Kings and 4-0 with the Indiana Pacers. His career highs in each category are 33 points, six rebounds, and 19 assists. He has averaged 16.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 8.4 assists.
Despite the minute restriction, the Pacers will need him to be available. The two studs haven’t played together enough since Pascal Siakam was acquired via trade to have an effect on the team’s success. Haliburton was crucial to their offence because of his capacity to manage the team’s speed through early outlet passes and timely shot production. Prior to his injury, it was at 121.3; it is currently at 114.6, placing him 19th.
