Haliburton (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Dallas, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
Haliburton was able to suit up Friday and Saturday despite landing on the Pacers' injury report due to his ankle injury, but he'll be unavailable for Monday's matchup. T.J. McConnell and Andrew Nembhard should see increased run against the Mavericks, while Haliburton's next chance to play will be Wednesday against Milwaukee.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Questionable Monday
Rotowire
Haliburton (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Haliburton played through the ankle issue in both ends of the Pacers' back-to-back set Friday and Saturday, but the team could still look to build in some rest for him at the start of a four-game week. Look for Indiana to provide an update on Haliburton following Monday's morning shootaround and in advance of the game's 7 p.m. ET opening tip. If Haliburton is sidelined, T.J. McConnell and Andrew Nembhard would be the primary beneficiaries.

Rotowire
Head coach Rick Carlisle relayed Saturday that he anticipates Haliburton (rest) taking the floor Saturday versus the Hawks, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Haliburton was initially termed questionable for the contest with an injury management label, suggesting he could receive a maintenance day to rest up, but it appears he should play both ends of the back-to-back despite returning Friday from a previous six-game absence. Official word on his status should surface before the 5 p.m. ET opening tip, but things are trending in the right direction.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Falls just shy of double-double
Rotowire
Haliburton (knee/ankle) finished Friday's 120-95 loss to the Celtics with 20 points (7-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine assists, six rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes.
Haliburton had a decent showing in his first game back after missing six straight due to a bruised knee and an ankle sprain. He fell one assist shy of a double-double but also hurt his squad by committing five turnovers, his highest total since Jan. 2. Haliburton has appeared in four contests so far in March, averaging 29.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 13.8 assists in 34.5 minutes. With Friday's game marking the front end of a back-to-back set, Haliburton's status bears watching heading into Saturday's contest at Atlanta, as he could be a candidate to rest for injury management purposes.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Available Friday
Rotowire
Haliburton (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Celtics, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
Haliburton missed the last six games due to a bruised knee and right ankle sprain but participated in Friday's shootaround and will return to game action against Boston. Andrew Nembhard will likely see a decreased role Friday, but it's certainly possible Haliburton's workload is monitored during his first game back on the court.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Participates in shootaround
Rotowire
Haliburton (knee) was a full participant during the Pacers' morning shootaround, but he remains questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics, Dustin Dopirak of the Indianapolis Star reports.
Haliburton has missed six straight games, two with a bruised knee and the past four due to a right ankle sprain. In his absence, Andrew Nembhard has flourished in an elevated role, but the Pacers would still love to have their All-Star point guard back in the mix for the stretch run. If he is cleared, Haliburton's minutes and usage may be monitored closely, so fantasy managers should check back in closer to the 7:00 p.m. ET tipoff to get a clearer picture of his potential availability versus Boston.

Haliburton has missed the past five games for the Pacers, but he's been ramping up his activities as of late, and this is the second straight game that he's received the questionable tag. If he can return for Wednesday's game, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith and T.J. McConnell would all take a hit.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Out for at least three games
Rotowire
Haliburton (knee) has been ruled out of Thursday's matchup against the Bucks and will miss the Pacers' next three games, at minimum, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
It seems Haliburton's knee injury is more severe than initially expected, and the star point guard will miss the team's upcoming three games before being re-evaluated. The earliest he'd return would be March 22 against the Raptors on the road, but his progress over the next few days will determine that. Expect T.J. McConnell, Andrew Nembhard and Jordan Nwora to see bigger roles with Haliburton sidelined.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Officially listed as questionable
Rotowire
Haliburton (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bucks.
Haliburton has missed back-to-back games due to a bruised left knee, but he returned to practice Wednesday and appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Thursday's matchup. However, Chris Duarte (ankle) and Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) have already been ruled out and T.J. McConnell (back) is also questionable, so if both point guards join Duarte and Mathurin on the sidelines, Andrew Nembhard, Jordan Nwora and George Hill would all be candidates for significant roles in the Pacers' backcourt.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Haliburton (knee) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Pistons, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
The Pacers will give Haliburton a second game off in a row to recover from a bruised left knee. The fact that Indiana is ruling Haliburton out two days in advance of Monday's contest isn't the most encouraging sign for his availability over the Pacers' final two contests of the week, but the star point guard has been too valuable when healthy this season for managers to consider dropping him, even in tightly contested fantasy playoff matchups. With T.J. McConnell (back) also joining Haliburton on the sideline Monday, Andrew Nembhard is expected to serve as Indiana's primary facilitator.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Iffy for Saturday
Rotowire
Haliburton is questionable for Saturday's matchup at Detroit due to a bruised left knee.
With Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) already ruled out and T.J. McConnell (back) questionable, the Pacers could be especially shorthanded in the backcourt Saturday. Haliburton has been on fire since the All-Star break, averaging 27.7 points on 55/44/89 percent shooting, 13.3 assists, 2.8 rebounds, 1.6 combined steals-plus-blocks and only 1.5 turnovers. Fantasy managers should check the final injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup, but coach Rick Carlisle may need to give extended run to George Hill, Andrew Nembhard and Chris Duarte.
Haliburton provided 29 points (9-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 9-10 FT), two rebounds and 19 assists over 38 minutes during Thursday's 134-125 overtime victory over the Rockets.
Haliburton took over during the overtime period, scoring 12 of his 29 points and leading the Pacers to a hard-fought victory. Not only was he the driving force in the scoring department, but he also handed out a career-high 19 assists, continuing what has been a breakout season. His star continues to rise, and projecting forward to next season and beyond, he is likely to be a top-10 asset for many years to come.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Dazzles with season-high 16 dimes
Rotowire
Haliburton finished with 40 points (12-19 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 11-12 FT), 16 assists, three rebounds and one steal across 37 minutes during Monday's 147-143 loss to Philadelphia.
The 16 dimes were a season high for Haliburton, who has also established a Pacers franchise record with 32 games of at least 10 dimes. The point guard ranks second in the NBA in assists per game (10.3), and he supplemented his passing with a huge scoring haul Monday, finishing just three shy of matching a season high. In his five games since the All-Star break, Haliburton has averaged 27.4 points, 12.2 assists, 3.6 three-pointers, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks while shooting 57.1 percent from the field and 88.6 percent from the free-throw line, making him the No. 2 player on a per-game basis in nine-category leagues over the past two weeks.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Available to play
Rotowire
Haliburton (calf) will be available to play Monday against the 76ers, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
Haliburton is good to go for the second leg of this back-to-back, and considering he put up 29 points with a full stat line across 34 minutes Sunday evening, it seems safe to say that the calf isn't giving him much trouble. Be sure to get him active.
