The Indiana Pacers are allowing Tyrese Haliburton’s dad to attend for Game 4 on Tuesday against the New York Knicks, ESPN reported Monday.
John Haliburton has not attended any of Indiana’s road or home playoff contests since his on-court confrontation with Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo on April 29.
Following that heated exchange after Game 5 of a first-round playoff series, the Pacers’ front office decided that John Haliburton would not attend any more games for the foreseeable future.
He has missed eight games so far and will continue to remain away from the team for road games, according to ESPN.
After winning the first two games of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference finals in New York, the Pacers fell 106-100 to the Knicks in Game 3 on Sunday in Indianapolis.
Tyrese Haliburton, 25, is averaging 21.7 points, 9.7 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists through three games against the Knicks.
The two-time All-Star guard averaged 18.6 points, 9.2 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 73 games (all starts) during the 2024-25 regular season.
