Report: Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton limited by calf tightness

Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton is playing with calf tightness in his right leg, the same leg on which he injured his ankle in a previous contest, ESPN reported Monday night.
The All-Star guard got off to an extremely slow start in Game 5 of the NBA Finals in Oklahoma City on Monday, missing all five of his first-half shot attempts while going scoreless.
At halftime, the injury was reported on ABC, though the issue hadn't kept Haliburton off the court. He played nearly 17 first-half minutes, third most on the team, despite wearing a wrap on his leg in the second quarter.
The Pacers trailed the Thunder 59-45 at the half as each team looked to take a 3-2 edge in the best-of-seven series.
Haliburton delivered the dagger jump shot to sink the Thunder on their home court in Game 1 as the Pacers won 111-110. Indiana coach Rick Carlisle revealed prior to Game 3 that Haliburton was dealing with a leg injury.
"I don't think you're going to hear him making a big deal out of it," Carlisle said.
