The injury bug has gotten to Tyrese Haliburton once again. 

The Pacers star will be sidelined with a left hamstring strain, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Tuesday. 

The team and doctors are reportedly still determining a timeline for Haliburton’s absence. Charania added that Haliburton will miss at least “about two weeks.”

Haliburton missed the entire 2025-26 season after suffering a torn Achilles during Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals, returning to the court for his first regular-season game during Indiana’s season opener earlier this month. 

He was brought to tears during a postgame interview after that game, reflecting on his emotional return to the court after more than a year away.

“It means a lot to be back out here,” Haliburton said.

Haliburton, 26, has averaged 21.8 points with 9.5 assists over 33 minutes per game in the Pacers’ first four games of the season.

After Monday’s game against the Bucks, Haliburton said he was “a little beat up” before news of the injury broke Wednesday.

Indiana won just a franchise-worst 19 games without Haliburton last season, and now will be without its two-time All-Star point guard for an undetermined amount of time after starting 2-2 this season.

Haliburton’s injury adds to a long list of NBA superstars who have gone down over the season’s first week-plus. 

Anthony Edwards, Jalen Williams, Kawhi Leonard, Paolo Banchero and Jaren Jackson Jr., among others, are all sidelined with significant injuries, sounding the alarm across the league. 

The Pacers are also dealing with injuries to several other key players, with T.J. McConnell (hamstring) and Ivica Zubac (ankle) out against the 76ers on Wednesday, and Andrew Nembhard (neck), Aaron Nesmith (hamstring) and Obi Toppin (hand) also nursing injuries.
