Tyrese Haliburton Leaves with Hamstring Strain, Eastern Conference Finals Availability in Doubt

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton left Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals with a left hamstring strain. Haliburton exited in the 3rd quarter and was ruled out for the rest of the game in the 4th quarter.

According to Pro Basketball Docs, Haliburton likely aggravated a previous left hamstring strain from January, but it does not appear to be a significant tear. The strain is believed to be low-grade, but given his quickness and playing style, it will be challenging for him to return to his usual form this season.

Even if he manages to come back this series, muscle injuries for a speedy point guard are tough to recover from in just a few days. The best-case scenario seems to be a short absence for Haliburton before the series ends, but even then, he is unlikely to be at 100%.
