Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton started in Thursday's 108-91 Game 6 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder despite a calf injury.
Haliburton tallied 14 points, five assists, and two steals in 23 minutes of action. He shot 3-of-7 from deep and led all players with a plus-25 rating.
Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle told reporters pregame that Haliburton wouldn't be under a minutes limit, according to Yahoo Sports' Vincent Goodwill.
Haliburton had been dealing with a lower right leg injury that worsened during Game 5. The two-time All-Star was limited to four points and held without a field goal in 34 minutes of action.
Haliburton underwent an MRI on Tuesday, which confirmed a strained right calf.
Haliburton is averaging 15 points, 7.2 assists, 6.2 boards, and 1.2 steals through the first five contests of the Finals. He's hit a series of clutch baskets during Indiana's playoff run, including a game-winning jumper with 0.3 seconds left in Game 1 versus the Thunder.
