It may have seemed odd that Rick Carlisle appeared pleased to announce in his pre-game news conference Tuesday that his All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton has a mild groin strain, but that was because of what he was reporting that the injury was not.

Point guard Tyrese Haliburton is listed as doubtful for the Pacers' game against the Cavaliers on Tuesday with left hamstring soreness.
