Brad Rowland: Pacers injury report for tonight against the Hawks is extremely busy. OUT - Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam, Ivica Zubac, Aaron Nesmith, Andrew Nembhard, TJ McConnell, Furphy, Sheppard QUESTIONABLE - Obi Toppin DOUBTFUL - Larry Nance Jr.

Ira Winderman: Simone Fontecchio (illness) is the lone player on the Heat injury report for Friday night vs. visiting Pacers. For Indiana, out are: Tyrese Haliburton, T.J. McConnell, Ivica Zubac, Ben Sheppard, Jonny Furphy, with Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith listed as probable.

Dustin Dopirak: Carlisle says Haliburton has a "mild strain" of his left hamstring. "He will be listed as week-to-week." Says ask about him in about two weeks, doesn't think it's realistic he will play before then.

APHoops: Tyrese Haliburton could miss “weeks” with a strain in the same hamstring that he has injured three times previously, per @ShamsCharania on NBA Today. “With this type of a hamstring strain this will be measured in a period of a week or weeks and doctors with the Pacers and Haliburton are working today to figure out a clear timeline for him.”

Tony East: Rick Carlise said on @1075thefan that Tyrese Haliburton will meet with a hamstring expert, Pacers docs, and team execs at 4:15. "We'll hope this hamstring thing is not a big deal or not any kind of a long-term thing. But as I said, we'll know more about that later this evening."

Shams Charania: Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton has sustained a left hamstring strain and will miss time, sources tell ESPN. Pacers doctors and Haliburton are now gathering a clear timeline.

Tyrese Haliburton: “I think injury gives you more perspective. I think trauma gives you more perspective on life, and my perspective is sitting out that long, I just want to appreciate the game every day. I appreciate what I get to do.”

“Rick said before the game there’s no hard minutes limit. Didn’t know for sure about the second half of the back-to-back. Do you have any idea about tomorrow?” Tyrese Haliburton: “I’m going to play. Of course I’m going to play. There’s been no conversation about it. But I need to play through being tired right now. It’s going to help me as the season goes on. We’re in Wisconsin, man. You know I ain’t going to miss playing in Wisconsin.”

“Sometimes you just need one play and it feels like you just take off. Was it the dunk where you passed to yourself? What were you thinking in that moment?” Tyrese Haliburton: “Sometimes you have to just commit to the bit. I didn’t know I was going to do it, but then I was like I should do it. It’s like I got to decide if I’m going to do it or not. You can’t think about it because otherwise you’ll mess it up. I just committed fully. I think it was the ABA jerseys. I feel like Dr. J or something. Let’s not stop, y’all. Don’t take me to Dr. J.”

Oh No He Didn't: Rick Carlisle on Tyrese Haliburton's self-lob dunk: "I think there's a statement to be read there. And that is that he's back. He's back. I don't know that's the first off two feet dunk I think I've seen him have in the NBA, so that's a very strong statement and it was a momentum play too"

Michael Scotto: Tyrese Haliburton on the Pacers being slept on as title contenders: “For sure, but that’s a part of it. We’re Indiana. We’re the Pacers. We really don’t care about outside expectations. We have a goal of winning a championship and we’re trying to take it day by day to get there.”

Tony East: Tyrese Haliburton tells Jeremiah Johnson he will play tomorrow in Milwaukee. His first back-to-back of the season.
