He was subbed out of the game with 3:44 remaining in the third quarter and went back to the locker room with Indiana trailing by 11. The Pacers announced during the fourth quarter that Haliburton would not return, citing a sore left leg.

Boston won 126-110 to take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Haliburton finished with 10 points on 4-of-8 shooting, including 2-of-6 from 3-point range, and eight assists.

He missed 10 games with a left hamstring strain suffered Jan. 8 against the Celtics when he slipped and fell and had to be helped off the court.
