It was at the end of the third quarter against the Knicks on Wednesday night that Tyrese Haliburton injured his left knee. On a penetration, the leader of the Pacers visibly fell back badly, notably losing his right shoe and then limping back to his bench.
His injury was not obvious in slow motion, but it was immediately confirmed by Rick Carlislewho gave news of his player at the end of the meeting, lost by Indiana.
“We will watch this closely, but he left Madison Square Garden on crutches”, announced the coach at ESPN. “So I think we can question his participation for Friday’s game and probably Saturday too. But who knows? »
Unfortunately for Rick Carlisle and the Pacers, there was no miracle after the further exams, as they will even have to go without Tyrese Haliburton for a few more days. Victim of a bone contusion in the left knee, and also victim of a sprained left elbow, “Rese” will thus be reviewed in two weeks by his franchise…
Called to participate in his first All-Star Game in a month, the Indiana leader must now stop for a fortnight, minimum, and his team will try not (too much) to fall in the standings without him, she who currently ranks in the Top 8 of the Eastern Conference (23 wins – 19 losses).
Despite the collective stakes, no risk was therefore taken with the best element of Indy (20.2 points, 10.2 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.8 interceptions on average this season), as wanted by Rick Carlisle.
“One of Tyrese’s great qualities is that he always wants to play,” continued the coach of the Pacers. “It helps our team culture. I hope he’ll be fine, but we’re certainly not going to put him in danger. »
