Indiana Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton left Monday night’s game against the visiting Boston Celtics in the second quarter due to a left hamstring strain.

Haliburton was driving to the hoop when he stopped on a dime and slipped, causing him to do the splits. He immediately grabbed at his left thigh and rolled over in pain before teammates had to carry him back to the locker room with 3:10 left in the first half.

At halftime, Indiana ruled Haliburton out for the rest of the game.

Haliburton had seven points and six assists in 13 minutes of action prior to exiting.

Entering Monday, Haliburton was averaging a team-high 24.2 points and a league-high 12.7 assists across 32 games (all starts). He is in his third season with Indiana after being acquired from the Sacramento Kings in a February 2022 trade.

The Pacers trailed 68-59 at the break on Monday.
