Haliburton sidelined again with left hamstring strain

The Pacers star will miss at least two weeks, just as he was working his way back from a torn Achilles.

Tyrese Haliburton is out again. The Pacers All-Star point guard has suffered a mild left hamstring strain and will be sidelined for at least two weeks, head coach Rick Carlisle said Wednesday. Carlisle described him as week-to-week, with no clearer timeline expected until the two weeks are up.

The injury comes shortly after Haliburton returned from a torn Achilles, making this latest setback especially unwelcome for Indiana.

It's not the first time that hamstring has caused trouble. Haliburton strained the same left hamstring in January 2024 after slipping on a drive against the Boston Celtics, an injury that cost him 10 games and lingered the rest of that season before flaring up again during the Eastern Conference finals against Boston four months later. The following season, he exited a January game against the Cleveland Cavaliers early with the same issue.

No return date has been set, and the Pacers will have to navigate the coming weeks without their floor leader as they wait for further word on his condition.
