Is Tyrese Haliburton Playing Today? Pacers Injury Update for Mexico City Game

Tyrese Haliburton will not play in the Indiana Pacers' game against the Denver Nuggets in Mexico City due to a left hamstring strain. The All-Star guard remained in Indianapolis for treatment, marking his sixth consecutive missed contest as Indiana plays its first-ever game in Mexico. Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle confirmed Haliburton is using a hyperbaric chamber daily and making good progress, though his return timetable remains uncertain.

Haliburton previously missed the entire 2024-25 season with a torn Achilles suffered in the 2025 NBA Finals before returning for four games this season. In his absence, Indiana is starting Andrew Nembhard alongside rookie Braden Smith in the backcourt.
