UPDATE: Tyrese Haliburton is available.

On Thursday evening, the Indiana Pacers will play the Oklahoma City Thunder (at home) for Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

For the game, the Pacers could be without their best player, as two-time NBA All-Star Tyrese Haliburton is listed as questionable.

Via Tony East: "Pacers have officially listed Tyrese Haliburton as questionable for Game 6 with a right calf strain."

The Pacers trail the Thunder 3-2 in the series after losing Game 5 (in Oklahoma City) by a score of 120-109.

Haliburton finished the loss with just four points, seven rebounds and six assists while shooting 0/6 from the field and 0/4 from the three-point range in 34 minutes of playing time.

Via Scot Agness of Fieldhouse Files (on Wednesday): "Tyrese Haliburton is on the court in a practice jersey and his Puma sneakers. We will hear from him shortly."

Haliburton finished his fifth NBA regular season with averages of 18.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 1.4 steals per contest while shooting 47.3% from the field and 38.8% from the three-point range in 73 games.
