Tyrese Haliburton done for the series?
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports we may have seen the last of the two-time All-Star this series. “The Pacers are going to err on the side of caution with this left hamstring injury, and for that reason, you may have seen Tyrese Haliburton for the last time in this series,” Wojnarowski stated on ESPN’s NBA Countdown.

If I woulda/coulda…. Pacers should be up 2-1. Thought this would go at least 6. Haliburton or no Haliburton. – 11:10 PM

With Haliburton out, Nembhard and McConnell have combined for 53 points, 12 rebounds and 15 assists. And they’re doing it against two all-defense guards. – 10:53 PM

Indiana scored 42 points in the paint during the first half. That’s an absurd number. The most the Celtics gave up this season was 70 … to the Pacers without Haliburton, back in early November. Boston still won that game 155-104. Don’t think the Celtics will win this one by 51. – 9:49 PM

Strange #Celtics half strategically, but what a half of shot-making and offensive execution by the #Pacers. Said it over and over again last 2 days, drop-off isn’t massive without Haliburton. – 9:43 PM

Andrew Nembhard buries a triple at the buzzer to push the Pacers back up by double-digits.
Nembhard has 21 points and 5 assists, filling in superbly for Tyrese Haliburton.
Jayson Tatum has 20 for Boston, which is again getting roasted inside. – 9:42 PM

#Pacers had the system, backup guards & tonight, the matchups to stay competitive and they’re taking advantage of them. The numbers said all year the drop-off without Haliburton isn’t huge. Looks like we still got a series game-to-game for now. – 9:15 PM

More on this storyline
Jay King: Joe Mazzulla said without Tyrese Haliburton it took the Celtics a little while to find the right matchups defensively. “We talk about it all the time: It takes what it takes.” He said it took the Celtics by surprise they fell behind the way they did but he liked how they fought out -via Twitter @ByJayKing / May 25, 2024
“[The Pacers] are not going to put him in a position where if he went out and played, it’s going to look like OG Anunoby in Game 7 for the Knicks against Indiana, where he was so limited in what he could do,” Wojnarowski said of Haliburton. -via nbcsportsboston.com / May 25, 2024
The Pacers entered the game without Tyrese Haliburton, who exited Game 3 with a hamstring injury and was ruled out hours before Game 4. He was capably replaced by Andrew Nembhard, who posted a Haliburton-esque night with a career-high 32 points on 12-of-21 shooting and nine assists. -via Yahoo! Sports / May 25, 2024
