Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton has yet to suit up since a nine-point win over the Houston Rockets in early March. Indiana has nine games left on its schedule, with tough matchups against the Cleveland Cavaliers and Milwaukee Bucks in their way of a potential Play-In spot. With the Pacers 1.5 games behind the Chicago Bulls for the final spot in the Play-In tournament, and the Celtics nearing the top of the conference, the question was: Is Tyrese Haliburton playing tonight vs. the Celtics?
The answer is yes, he sure is.
