UPDATE: Tyrese Haliburton is available.

On Tuesday evening, the Indiana Pacers will be in Wisconsin to play Game 5 of their first-round playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks.

For the game, the Pacers could be without their best player, as All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton is on the injury report.

Via Underdog NBA: "Tyrese Haliburton (back) listed questionable for Tuesday."

Haliburton had an excellent regular season with averages of 20.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 10.9 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 47.7% from the field and 36.4% from the three-point range in 69 games.

The Pacers finished as the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 47-35 record.

They are in the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season when Victor Oladipo was still on the roster.

The Pacers have a 3-1 lead, so they can end the series with a victory on Tuesday.

Most recently, they beat the Bucks by a score of 126-113 (on the road in Wisconsin).

Haliburton finished with 24 points, four rebounds, four assists and one steal while shooting 8/16 from the field and 5/12 from the three-point range in 32 minutes of playing time.
