The Indiana Pacers have recently faced a loss in their game against the Denver Nuggets. They lost the match with a concluding score of 109-114. However, all three matches before the Nuggets loss were won by the Pacers squad, as they were successful in surpassing the Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns, and Memphis Grizzlies.
The two-time NBA All-Star, Tyrese Haliburton, suffered a Grade 1 strain on his left hamstring and has been out for ten regular-season games. He was injured during the match against the Boston Celtics on January 8th. So, now the Pacers star is looking forward to making his comeback in the game against the same team, the Celtics.
