Pacers' Haliburton out at least 2 weeks with elbow, knee injuries
The Indiana Pacers announced that point guard Tyrese Haliburton will be re-evaluated in two weeks due to a sprained elbow and knee bruise.
Haliburton underwent an MRI on Thursday afternoon. He's awaiting an additional opinion on the results.
The 22-year-old guard suffered the injuries during the third quarter of Wednesday's 119-113 loss to the New York Knicks.
Haliburton has averaged 20.2 points per game on 48% shooting from the field and 39% from three this season. He's also the only player in the league averaging at least 10 assists per contest (10.2).
Haliburton has been the catalyst for Indiana's 23-19 start. The seventh-seeded Pacers acquired him last season from the Sacramento Kings for a package that included All-Star big man Domantas Sabonis.
Rookie guard Andrew Nembhard - who's started 28 games - is now slated for a jump in playing time, alongside reserve guard T.J. McConnell.
The Pacers take on the Atlanta Hawks on Friday at 7 p.m. ET.
