With Indiana on the brink, hobbled Haliburton vows to be ready for Game 6
-
OKLAHOMA CITY - Tyrese Haliburton vowed to be ready for Indiana's must-win National Basketball Association (NBA) Finals Game 6, after being hobbled by injury during the Pacers' 120-109 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on June 16.
The Pacers talisman, who suffered a right leg injury in Game 2, once again struggled as Indiana slipped to a defeat that leaves the Thunder one win away from clinching the best-of-seven series.
Being 3-2 up, Oklahoma City can seal the NBA crown with victory in Indianapolis on June 19.
Haliburton discussed sitting out the remainder of the game with coach Rick Carlisle at half-time but eventually returned after the break.
"It's the Finals, man. I've worked my whole life to be here and I want to be out there to compete, help my teammates any way I can," he said. "I was not great tonight by any means, but it's not really a thought of mine to not play here.
