Tyrese Haliburton to miss time due to hamstring strain

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton has faced a challenging stretch of injuries this season. Last year, he missed the entire campaign due to a torn right Achilles tendon suffered in the 2025 NBA Finals. Following a stint with the team during the 2025-26 season, Haliburton returned to action with the newly acquired big man Ivica Zubac at center.

However, he has now reportedly sustained another setback, this time a left hamstring strain, which is expected to sideline him for an unspecified period. Sources cited by ESPN's Shams Charania indicate that the duration of Haliburton's absence could range from a week to several weeks. Pacers medical staff and Haliburton himself are working to establish a clear timeline for his recovery.

The team is not rushing the process, recognizing that a hasty return could potentially exacerbate the injury.
