Tyrese Haliburton injury status vs. Nets

Haliburton has missed the Pacers’ previous two games due to his back ailment. Indiana listed the star guard as questionable for both before ruling him out. Rick Carlisle’s squad will be on the second night of a back-to-back against the Nets after Wednesday’s 135-131 win over the Dallas Mavericks.

A questionable tag for Thursday’s game indicates Haliburton is still managing his back injury but will have a chance to suit up vs. Brooklyn.

Indiana has won four of its last five games following a 3-5 stretch. The Pacers are attempting to hold off the Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons for the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. They hold a one-game lead on both teams with 14 remaining.

Meanwhile, Brooklyn has lost 11 of its last 13 games following a 7-2 stretch last month. The Nets are in a tank race. They are tied with the Philadelphia 76ers for fifth place in the draft lottery standings and one game ahead of the Toronto Raptors.

The Nets will be without Cam Johnson (rest) on Thursday.

So, regarding whether Tyrese Haliburton is playing tonight vs. the Nets, the Pacers have cautiously approached their star guard’s back injury. However, a win over Brooklyn would bring them closer to securing the fourth seed and a home playoff series in the first round.
