On June 18, the Pacers' core star Halliburton was diagnosed with an injury. According to famous reporter Shams, Halliburton suffered a strain on his right calf. He will undergo an MRI test to determine the severity of the strain. Medical experts explain Harry's injury in detail. First-degree strain will also have to be on standby for 1-2 weeks. However, considering the life-and-death battle between G6 in the finals, Harry strives to play with injuries.

During the G5 game in the finals, Halliburton was unfortunately injured and fell to the ground while making a breakthrough. He covered his calf, then wrapped it in a thick bandage and returned to the locker room for examination. He persisted in the game with an injury, but his condition was very bad. He finally lost to Tianwangshan. He played for 34 minutes, made 0 of 6 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, scored only 4 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, and made 3 mistakes.

Now shams reports that Halliburton has determined to strain his right calf. Once the results of the MRI are released, the Pacers will discuss whether to let him play in the G6; TA reporter Joe Vardon followed up and reported that a source who knows Halliburton's injury confirmed that Harry did strain his calf and will undergo further examinations including MRI, but Halliburton will strive to make a appearance in the G6 game. After the game, Halliburton said that he would play in G6 with an injury and said bluntly: I have been working hard to come here all my life. I want to go on the court to compete, and I never thought about not playing. Anyway, I didn't perform well tonight, but as long as I could still leave, I would want to play. After the interview, Halliburton limped away from the Thunder's stadium with a box.

Regarding Harry's injury, medical expert Evan Jeffries said that Halliburton felt tight in the calf in the finals G2, which eventually led to a fifth strain. The usual recovery time was a 1-2 week quit for the first-degree strain and a 3-6 week quit for the second-degree strain.

effries also said that the biggest concern about playing with injuries is the possibility of injury to the Achilles tendon.

Currently, the Pacers are behind the Thunder 2-3 in the finals. For them, G6 is a life-and-death battle; according to the schedule, G6 will be played at 8:30 on June 20. Can the Pacers drag the series into the tiebreak? Let's wait and see.
