Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Won't appear in season finale
Rotowire
Haliburton (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Haliburton will miss a seventh straight game due to a right ankle sprain and should leave ample opportunities for T.J. McConnell (hip), Andrew Nembhard, George Hill and Bennedict Mathurin on Sunday. The 2022-23 campaign was a career year for Haliburton, notching highs in points (20.7), assists (10.4), field goal percentage (49.0) and free throw percentage (87.1).

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Listed out for Wednesday
Rotowire
Haliburton (ankle) is listed as out for Wednesday's contest against the Knicks.
Haliburton is slated to miss a fifth straight game and his 11th over Indiana's past 13 contests. With Chris Duarte (ankle) also sidelined, Andrew Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin should continue to garner increased usage in the Pacers' backcourt. Haliburton's next chance to play will come Friday against the Pistons, but at this point, it wouldn't be surprising if he didn't suit up for either of the team's two remaining games following Wednesday's contest.

Rotowire
Haliburton (ankle/elbow) will not take the floor Wednesday versus the Bucks.
Haliburton will sit his second consecutive game while dealing with both a right ankle sprain and left elbow soreness, leaving the Pacers without a key cog to face a Bucks squad with the league's best record.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Questionable Monday
Rotowire
Haliburton (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Haliburton played through the ankle issue in both ends of the Pacers' back-to-back set Friday and Saturday, but the team could still look to build in some rest for him at the start of a four-game week. Look for Indiana to provide an update on Haliburton following Monday's morning shootaround and in advance of the game's 7 p.m. ET opening tip. If Haliburton is sidelined, T.J. McConnell and Andrew Nembhard would be the primary beneficiaries.

Rotowire
Head coach Rick Carlisle relayed Saturday that he anticipates Haliburton (rest) taking the floor Saturday versus the Hawks, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Haliburton was initially termed questionable for the contest with an injury management label, suggesting he could receive a maintenance day to rest up, but it appears he should play both ends of the back-to-back despite returning Friday from a previous six-game absence. Official word on his status should surface before the 5 p.m. ET opening tip, but things are trending in the right direction.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Falls just shy of double-double
Rotowire
Haliburton (knee/ankle) finished Friday's 120-95 loss to the Celtics with 20 points (7-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine assists, six rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes.
Haliburton had a decent showing in his first game back after missing six straight due to a bruised knee and an ankle sprain. He fell one assist shy of a double-double but also hurt his squad by committing five turnovers, his highest total since Jan. 2. Haliburton has appeared in four contests so far in March, averaging 29.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 13.8 assists in 34.5 minutes. With Friday's game marking the front end of a back-to-back set, Haliburton's status bears watching heading into Saturday's contest at Atlanta, as he could be a candidate to rest for injury management purposes.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Available Friday
Rotowire
Haliburton (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Celtics, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
Haliburton missed the last six games due to a bruised knee and right ankle sprain but participated in Friday's shootaround and will return to game action against Boston. Andrew Nembhard will likely see a decreased role Friday, but it's certainly possible Haliburton's workload is monitored during his first game back on the court.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Participates in shootaround
Rotowire
Haliburton (knee) was a full participant during the Pacers' morning shootaround, but he remains questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics, Dustin Dopirak of the Indianapolis Star reports.
Haliburton has missed six straight games, two with a bruised knee and the past four due to a right ankle sprain. In his absence, Andrew Nembhard has flourished in an elevated role, but the Pacers would still love to have their All-Star point guard back in the mix for the stretch run. If he is cleared, Haliburton's minutes and usage may be monitored closely, so fantasy managers should check back in closer to the 7:00 p.m. ET tipoff to get a clearer picture of his potential availability versus Boston.

Rotowire
Haliburton (knee) has been ruled out of Thursday's matchup against the Bucks and will miss the Pacers' next three games, at minimum, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
It seems Haliburton's knee injury is more severe than initially expected, and the star point guard will miss the team's upcoming three games before being re-evaluated. The earliest he'd return would be March 22 against the Raptors on the road, but his progress over the next few days will determine that. Expect T.J. McConnell, Andrew Nembhard and Jordan Nwora to see bigger roles with Haliburton sidelined.

Haliburton (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bucks.
Haliburton has missed back-to-back games due to a bruised left knee, but he returned to practice Wednesday and appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Thursday's matchup. However, Chris Duarte (ankle) and Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) have already been ruled out and T.J. McConnell (back) is also questionable, so if both point guards join Duarte and Mathurin on the sidelines, Andrew Nembhard, Jordan Nwora and George Hill would all be candidates for significant roles in the Pacers' backcourt.
