Pacers star point guard Tyrese Haliburton is believed to have strained his right calf in Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Thunder, according to ESPN.

The Thunder are one win from their first NBA title since the team moved from Seattle in 2008. The Pacers are on the brink of elimination.

If Haliburton misses Game 6, that torpedoes the Pacers' chances to force a decisive Game 7. He's been Indiana's best player and primary ball-handler. The Thunder will be the heavy

The Florida Panthers look to make it two straight Stanley Cup titles in a row as they face the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 on Tuesday night.

Tyrese Haliburton had an abysmal Game 5 for the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals, going 0-for-6 from the field, just four points, six assists and seven boards. But there might be a big reason for that: a calf injury that's been lingering that he played through, one that might have been aggravated early in Monday night's Indiana Pacers loss.

Mark Daigneault made note of how Jalen Williams powered the Thunder to a Game 5 victory over the Pacers with the way he attacked the basket.

After many expected the Thunder to have their way with the Pacers, disposing of them quickly with either a sweep or a gentleman's sweep, the series has been wildly competitive.
