Update: Tyrese Haliburton underwent an MRI and it confirmed a left hamstring strain.
It’s a Grade 1, per @wojespn, which would keep him out for at least several weeks.
The best possible outcome after his scary slip, then being carried off the court.

Updated story on the injury to Tyrese Haliburton — which happened almost one year to the date when he went down in NY.
The Pacers were +11 in the 3Q, then Mathurin sank the go-ahead FTs for a 133-131 win over the Celtics.

“It’s always sad to see one of the guys go down,” Buddy Hield says of Haliburton. “That’s my brother, we love him a lot.”
Said Haliburton was giving energy to the team at halftime. – 10:13 PM

Kurt Helin @basketballtalk
Tyrese Haliburton has to be carried off the court, out for a game with a strained hamstring.
An MRI will determine the severity, but expect him to miss weeks, not days.

Pacers All-Star G Tyrese Haliburton will undergo an MRI on his left hamstring Tuesday, sources tell ESPN. He needed help leaving court earlier vs. Celtics after falling awkwardly on floor. Pacers won, 133-131. – 9:46 PM

Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
Celtics nearly tip in an alley-oop off the inbound, fall 133-131 to the Pacers who found their rhythm after losing Haliburton in the first half. Terrible execution on the 2 for 1 to close this one, but otherwise a great game from Jaylen Brown in Jayson Tatum’s absence. – 9:36 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Kornet barely misses the tip in at the buzzer. Pacers win 133-131. Waht a victory after Haliburton got hurt. Mathurin and McConnell were excellent. Pacers are 21-15. – 9:35 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Mathurin scored 26pts, including the go-ahead FT, as the Pacers defeated the Celtics 133-131.
Haliburton left the game with an injury in the first half; they trailed by 9 at the break. Hield (15pts) and McConnell (12/7a) were key off the bench.
Brown scored 40.
Next: Wed v WAS – 9:35 PM

Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Mathurin and Nesmith respond to potentially go up 6 with the and-one.
#Pacers ahead 75-64 since Haliburton’s injury. Incredible. – 9:18 PM

Steve Aschburner @AschNBA
No Jayson Tatum (L ankle sprain mgmt) tonight, no Tyrese Haliburton (L hamstring) since late 1H and it’s IND 103, BOS 101 thru 3Q. – 8:56 PM

Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
#Pacers moved to the post offensively with Haliburton to begin the 3rd and it’s bothered the #Celtics even in their double big alignment. Smith has been great, Turner’s presence impactful and McConnell keeps reaching the basket. – 8:40 PM

Jeff Stotts @InStreetClothes
Re: Haliburton: MRI will determine the severity of the strain with all possible outcomes still on the table. As I previously stated time lost is linked to severity of the strain and the associated treatment options. – 8:37 PM

Adam Himmelsbach @AdamHimmelsbach
Impressive bounce-back by the Pacers without Haliburton. They’ve regained the lead with a 22-9 third-quarter run. – 8:35 PM

Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Haliburton’s probably my favorite player in the league right now & I can’t think of one guy more important to his team. Was a 1st team lock and probably would’ve generated some MVP buzz playing like he was.
Really hope he’s ok. – 8:12 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Celtics lead by 9 at halftime. Mathurin has 15 and Brown has 25 for Boston. Haliburton’s injury is the story of the half. – 8:10 PM

Tyrese Haliburton slipped on the court and was unable to walk off under his own power.

Pacers seem shell-shocked without Haliburton right now. They huddled up and guys appeared visibly upset. Celtics have quickly opened up a 68-57 lead, their largest. – 8:07 PM

That did not look good for Haliburton. He’s being carried off now. I hope that’s not as serious as this looks. – 8:02 PM

Brian Robb @BrianTRobb
Really hope a slippery Pacers floor didn’t ruin Haliburton’s season here. – 8:02 PM

Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Not going to make any assumptions, but Tyrese Haliburton just took a scary looking fall and is being carried off the floor by his #Pacers teammates. – 8:02 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
These shoes aren’t it for Tyrese Haliburton. He’s wearing high-top Kobes and just fell on his own for the second time this half. (He normally wears low-tops.)
This latest time, he did the splits and they’re looking at his left leg. – 8:02 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Tyrese Haliburton helped off the court by James Johnson and Buddy Hield. His teammates covered his face with towels. Was surrounded by his teammates + Jaylen Brown and ex-Pacer Oshae Brissett. pic.twitter.com/4wiyvVadzv – 8:02 PM

Oh man. Tyrese Haliburton slips, seems to grab at his hamstring. Is being carried off the floor. – 8:02 PM

After taking a fall, Tyrese Haliburton is being carried off the court by two teammates, with a towel over his head. – 8:02 PM

Tyrese Haliburton slips on a drive in the paint for the second time tonight, this time doing a big split and pulling a groin/hammy. He’s trying to walk it off but is in a lot of pain and can’t seem to move. Both teams are crowding around him hoping he’s ok. – 8:01 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Tyrese Haliburton slips and falls and is grimmacing holding his left leg. – 8:01 PM

Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Not sure what the Nembhard history is with the #Celtics bench. He really struggled in that blowout Haliburton missed in Boston, played 5 minutes in the IST game and missed the first game on Saturday. – 8:00 PM

Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Mathurin’s offense an issue early for the #Celtics, who were a possession behind throughout the 1Q. Pritchard beat the buzzer to take a 34-33 lead, and C’s did a great job attacking Hield. Exploiting Haliburton, Mathurin could help expand the lead in to the 2Q. – 7:37 PM

Tony East @TonyREast
Tyrese Haliburton slips and falls on one end, and he’s frustration with the court. On the other, ex-Pacer Oshae Brissett is fouled hard, and it’s being reviewed for a flagrant. – 7:24 PM

Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Look at Brown manipulating some help while attacking Haliburton to get Horford a 3!
Really strong start from him. – 7:15 PM

Before tonight’s rematch, a look back at how the Celtics targeted matchups & limited Haliburton:
Jaylen Brown: “It was almost like they just wanted to dare you to get to the paint and make a play. So we took our time, got to the paint, made plays…”
