Wed May 07 01:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Pacers Star Haliburton Plays Through Wrist Injury in Game 2 Loss
**Indianapolis, IN** – Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton played through a left wrist injury in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference Semifinals series against the Cleveland Cavaliers, ultimately falling to a Cavs team already depleted by injuries.
Haliburton suffered the injury during a second-quarter rebound battle. He underwent an X-ray at halftime and returned to the game with his wrist heavily taped. The extent of the injury is currently unknown.
Despite the Pacers’ star guard’s continued presence on the court, the Cavaliers dominated the first half, building a 20-point lead. Cleveland were already missing three key players – Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and De’Andre Hunter – adding to the surprising nature of their commanding performance. The final score was not included in the original text.
Haliburton’s status for Game 3 remains uncertain, pending further evaluation of his wrist. The Pacers will be hoping for a speedy recovery for their key player as they face a significant challenge in their playoff series against the Cavaliers.
