The Athletic's James Boyd initially reported Friday night that Pacers PR did not make Haliburton available after the Game 3 loss. Multiple beat writers including Dopirak noted it was rare for Haliburton not to speak to the media after a Pacers loss.

Indiana Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton had a tough game Friday night in the team's 126-104 Game 3 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He scored just four points on 2-for-8 shooting from the field, along with five assists.
