The good news is that the injury is not deemed as serious, and Haliburton is expected to undergo re-evaluation in approximately two weeks, per the same report.

The injury occurred during Monday's game against the Boston Celtics when Haliburton slipped during a drive to the basket in the second quarter.

The incident forced him to leave the court with the assistance of teammates, grabbing his left thigh and visibly in pain. He was subsequently ruled out for the remainder of the game at halftime.

Haliburton, who is currently leading the team with an average of 23.6 points and a league-high 12.5 assists, has been a pivotal player for the Pacers in his third season with the team.

The Pacers are 21-15 and sixth in the East.
