Indiana Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton left Game 2 with a noticeable limp, prompting speculation about a potential injury flare-up during the Eastern Conference Finals.

But the Pacers’ floor general shut down any panic during Tuesday’s media availability.

“I’m fine,” the player said. “Really just a lower leg thing. I’ll leave it at that. I don’t think there’s anything more to elaborate. I feel fine and I’ll be ready to go for Game 3.”

With Indiana needing Haliburton’s composure and playmaking, his self-assurance provides a boost heading into a crucial contest. Game 3 will offer a test of both the Pacers’ resilience and Haliburton’s durability.

Haliburton has played 5 seasons for the Pacers and Kings. He has averaged 17.5 points, 8.8 assists, and 3.7 rebounds in 333 regular-season games. He was selected to play in 2 All-Star games.
