Indiana Pacers star point guard Tyrese Haliburton endured a nightmarish Game 5 in the NBA Finals on Monday amid a right calf injury and just four points scored.

With his team down 3–2 in the series against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Haliburton isn’t about to let the season die if he can do something about it. Haliburton, who averaged 17.7 points per game in the series before Monday, doesn’t want the right calf injury to prevent him from playing in Game 6 on Thursday and beyond if the Pacers can stay alive.
