The Pacers are hoping to get a win in Game 4 to keep their season alive, and they might have to do it without Tyrese Haliburton.

Indiana's star guard, who didn't play in Game 3, is listed as questionable for Game 4 due to left hamstring soreness.

Before Game 3, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said Haliburton "desperately" wanted to play and that the decision was "taken out of his hands."

Haliburton, who had missed 10 games in January with the same injury, has been an integral part of the Pacers' success in the playoffs. He averaged 20.1 points and 10.9 assists in the regular season, earning him an All-NBA Third Team selection.

In Game 3, Andrew Nembhard took over point guard duties and finished with 32 points in the loss.
