Tyrese Haliburton Set For Game-Time Decision Friday
2 years agoIndiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (groin) has been deemed a last-minute call for Friday's contest against the Kings as he deals with a sore left groin. There is cause for optimism, though, as Haliburton was able to suit up for shootaround in hopes of facing his former team for the second straight outing. He enters play Friday leading the league in assists per game (11.2) and is the only player to average a double-double on points and assists. An absence would pave the way for T.J. McConnell and Andrew Nembhard to become upside DFS plays, while Bennedict Mathurin and Buddy Hield would likely garner additional ballhandling and scoring duties. Check back for final word on Haliburton's status prior to tipoff.
