Indiana Pacers' franchise player, Tyrese Haliburton, suffered a grade 1 strain on the hamstring on January 8th, in a match against the Celtics. He was cleared to play last Friday against the Blazers. During the game, he experienced a setback with the injury, so now it's certain that Tyrese will miss at least 3 more games. He'll be re-evaluated on Saturday.

There's no doubt that this has been Tyrese Haliburton break out season. He had a wonderful display in the first In-Season Tournament, leading Indiana to the finals.

The Pacers' offense fits him perfectly, and allows him to fluorish. Fast pace, quick ball movement and a lot of assists.

Indiana is number 1 in points scored by the half of the season, and there's no doubt that with the acquisition of Pascal Siakam, they the roster to the next level.

Unfortunately, Haliburton has been suffering some minor injuries throughout the season, that kept him out for several games. That's what happened last Friday, while Tyrese was making a return after sitting out 5 games.

Apparently, the injury acted up again, causing Haliburton to miss the next three games for the Pacers, and then be re-evaluated on Saturday.

This situation could also affect his elegibility to this season awards, because he won't be able to reach the minnimum of 65 games played to fulfill the new criteria NBA has taken.
