While it's unclear how much Tyrese Haliburton's injury is affecting his shooting, one thing is clear: The Pacers need his offense to win the title.

Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton has been deemed a game-time decision ahead of Game 6 of the 2025 NBA Finals series between the Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Haliburton strained his right calf on Monday during Game 5 of the series, which Oklahoma City leads 3-2.

Haliburton has been dealing with a lower right leg injury throughout the series and it worsened during Monday's Game 5 loss in Indianapolis. Haliburton played through it for most of his 34 minutes, but failed to make a field goal in the game and Indiana lost to Oklahoma City 120-109 — falling behind 3-2 in the title series.
