The Indiana Pacers have had to deal with Tyrese Haliburton's injuries every year since acquiring him. He is someone who plays very hard whenever he's out on the court. That maximum effort results in injuries.

Haliburton will miss his third straight contest Thursday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to lower back soreness. Bennedict Mathurin is set to draw another start in his place. Haliburton's next chance to suit up is Saturday's rematch with Brooklyn.
