Indiana Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton will miss the next three games to manage a hamstring injury, coach Rick Carlisle confirmed Tuesday.

Haliburton sustained a Grade 1 strain in his left hamstring on Jan. 8 and has missed five of the last six games. He tallied 21 points and 17 assists in a 118-115 loss at Portland on Friday.

The All-Star guard will be re-evaluated Saturday after missing Indiana's home games against Denver on Tuesday, Philadelphia on Thursday and Phoenix on Friday. The Pacers (24-19) are 1-4 in their last five contests.

Haliburton, 23, is averaging a team-high 23.6 points and leads the league with 12.6 assists per game through 34 games (all starts) this season.
