Shams Charania Provides Big Tyrese Haliburton Injury Update on Tuesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton got injured in Game 5 of the 2025 NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday. The two-time All-Star wasn't close to 100%, as he appeared to tweak his right leg.

ESPN NBA Insider Shams Charania made his first appearance on the network's NBA Finals pregame show before Game 5 on Monday night and quickly went viral for some faces he made while the crew was talking about where Kevin Durant might play next season.

The Pacers are also sending the Pelicans the draft rights to Mojave King, the 47th overall pick in 2023. They are acquiring their own 2026 first-round pick from the Pelicans, which was previously dealt to the Toronto Raptors in the trade involving Pascal Siakam.

After missing the playoffs once again this year, the Toronto Raptors could be aggressive in the trade market this offseason in hopes of bolstering their roster. More specifically, the Raptors have been linked to Phoenix Suns star and two-time NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant.

ESPN's Shams Charania reported on Tuesday that Haliburton suffered a strained calf. He will undergo an MRI to determine the severity. That obviously puts his Game 6 status up in the air. Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle talked about a possible injury after Game 5. He revealed some information, but not to this level.

This trade won't help the Pacers in the NBA Finals, but it might help keep this team together in the long run.

Haliburton, 25, played through the injury in the second half of Monday’s 120-109 loss to the Thunder in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, after he exited to the locker room early in the game and returned in the second quarter with his calf wrapped.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton's status for Game 6 of the NBA Finals is uncertain after he suffered a calf strain in Monday's loss to OKC.

Are the Grizzlies heading for a full rebuild? Or do they plan to build around Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr.?

It's not a secret that there are a handful of NBA players who are not happy when ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania mentions their name in rumors. Charania is the top insider for the sport now that Adrian Wojnarowski is a general manager for the men's basketball team at St.
