Overview

• Haliburton aggravated his lower right leg when he landed awkwardly in the first quarter of Game 5 and departed after 10:04 for treatment
• He returned later sporting an ice and gauze wrap and walked back onto the court with a noticeable limp
• His struggles were apparent as he missed his first four shots and went scoreless in nearly 17 minutes of first-half action
• The 23-year-old had been averaging 17.8 points, 7.5 assists and six rebounds through the first four Finals games
• Coach Rick Carlisle had noted Haliburton’s discomfort earlier in the series and Indiana’s bench has stepped up to keep the Finals closely contested
