Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton: Iffy for Game 6
Haliburton (calf) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Thunder, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.
Haliburton will do everything he can to be ready to play in Game 6. He did go through a light practice Wednesday, which is a promising sign. However, calf strains can be tricky injuries that can lead to a more severe lower leg injury if not properly managed. If Haliburton is ultimately ruled out, Indiana will likely turn to T.J. McConnell and Andrew Nembhard to shoulder more of the workload in the backcourt.

Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton: Will be game-time call
Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said Wednesday that a decision on Haliburton‘s status isn’t expected to be announced until Thursday afternoon or evening, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
Essentially, Haliburton will be a game-time call. He underwent an MRI on Tuesday for what is being described as a strained right calf, but the results haven’t been announced. However, Haliburton was participating in Wednesday’s light practice, so that’s seemingly a good sign.
