It was believed that the injury occurred while leading the basket in the first quarter, which could explain the strange silent night of Haliburton on the offensive side. He returned to the locker room after the play, but returned to the bank shortly after.
Haliburton wore an envelope around his calf, but took it to the middle of the game.
Initially it was diagnosed as calves voltage, but the Pacers believe it is more than that. However, Haliburton told reporters that he intends to play the rest of the series.

“I wasn’t great tonight, but I can walk, then I want to play,” he said.
“They are the finals of the NBA. They are the finals, man,” Haliburton added. “I have worked all my life to be here. And I want to be there to compete, help my teammates in any way I can.”
It is not necessary to say how vital Haliburton is in the five initials of the Pacers, especially when it comes to the crunch time in the fourth quarter. Haliburton has had enough winning cubes of the game to last a complete playoff race, much less just a section, which includes the heroic jersey of average range of game 1 to win it on the road.
The Pacers have no room to breathe, which need to win the next two games to ensure the NBA title. Meanwhile, the Thunder have impulse even on the road after the 120-109 victory on Monday night.

Through 21 playoff games, Haliburton has averaged 17.9 points, 9.1 assists and 5.8 rebounds for Indiana, while exhausted 46.3% of its shots from the floor.
If Haliburton cannot play, the papers have a good depth, with TJ McConnell probably assuming tasks in the shipowner.
