Pacers Tyrese Haliburton Exits Game 7 vs. Thunder With Apparent Injury

The Oklahoma City Thunder are currently at home as they are taking on the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

It has been a tightly contested matchup thus far as the Thunder currently hold an 18-16 lead.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been the star for the Thunder as he has recorded six points and three assists while Alex Caruso has added six points of his own off the bench.

On the other side, Tyrese Haliburton has led the way for Indiana with nine points while Pascal Siakam has added five points of his own.

While Haliburton has starred for the Pacers to begin the game, disaster struck with a little over four minutes left in the first quarter as the star point guard was helped to the locker room after an apparent injury.

Haliburton collapsed to the court while trying to drive to the rim and was in obvious pain.

Of course, the star guard suffered a right calf strain in Game 5, though he was able to return in that game and he also played through the injury in Game 6.

Haliburton once again was playing through the injury in Game 7 on Sunday night when things took an unfortunate turn.

So far, the Pacers have not released an update on their superstar point guard but with how it looked, it seems as though he may be sidelined for the rest of the game, which would be a massive blow for Indiana as they try to win a championship on the road.
