BOSTON — Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton left in the third quarter of Game 2 against the Boston Celtics on Thursday night and did not return because of a sore left hamstring.

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said the team would know more about Haliburton’s injury and status Friday.

Boston won 126-110 to take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals. Game 3 is Saturday in Indianapolis.

Haliburton 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.

Haliburton, who had 25 points and 10 assists in Game 1, finished with 10 points on 4-of-8 shooting (2-of-6 from 3-point range) and 8 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.
