This is not good for the Pacers, missing him for 2 weeks might cost them games because Hali is their leader, he manage the plays well as evidence by his high assists on the last few games. There was even a time that his assists was 23, that's how good he is, his first priority to make a play by making his teammates ready.
His leadership creates great impact for the Pacers, allowing his teammates to be involve is really a good sign of leadership, though aside from
that great talent he also good in producing numbers, I mean a good first option for bring basket for the team.
Missing him might really impact the entire rotation of the team, hopefully he will be in full recovery after this rest that provided to him.
2 weeks of resting may be enough for him to recover and to make sure that it won't create more problem with his health.
There's no question with his leadership on the court, and the Indiana Pacers made the right decision for giving him a max contract. Good thing that they have a good standing now, 22-15 currently and number 4 in the East. I'm sure they will not fully struggle even without him, so I'm expecting that his absent could also be positive for the team on trying to figure out how to win without him. I guess I'm gonna keep a record of this team when playing without their best player.
Depends on who they are going to face in the next couple of games when Hali is out (I haven't check the schedule yet). If they faces team like in the .500 and below they might get a gauge on how good they are without Hali and maybe win some games.
But if they faces a strong team, it might be close and they might end up losing.
We can only hope that Hali can be back strong in the next 2 weeks, I haven't seen the reports of his injury, but it's not that season ending and maybe he just need to take that rest on his hamstring.
According to the report shared by the user above, this is his exact condition.
Tyrese Haliburton is sidelined with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, confirmed by an MRI, facing a two-week recovery, but there's relief that the injury is not considered serious.
The words "not considered serious." is such a relief. Fans should not worry as they will only miss him for weeks and eventually once he is fully recovered, and will come back to bring some excitement to the fans.
Pacers playing without him might be a little downgrade, but knowing the Pacers, they played well as a team, so they'll surely play hard on their next game and try to earn victory on the road. Later they'll be facing Trae Young and company in Atlanta.
