Won't play Game 6

Walker will miss a sixth straight game during the NBA Finals due to a sprained right ankle. The next opportunity for him to get back on the floor will be Sunday if the Pacers force a Game 7 in Oklahoma City.

Iffy for Game 6

Haliburton will do everything he can to be ready to play in Game 6. He did go through a light practice Wednesday, which is a promising sign. However, calf strains can be tricky injuries that can lead to a more severe lower leg injury if not properly managed. That said, the Pacers will be careful with their rising star, even with the season on the line Thursday. If Haliburton is ultimately ruled out, Indiana will likely turn to T.J. McConnell and Andrew Nembhard to shoulder more of the workload in the backcourt.

Will be game-time call

Essentially, Haliburton will be a game-time call. He underwent an MRI on Tuesday for what is being described as a strained right calf, but the results haven't been announced. However, Haliburton was participating in Wednesday's light practice, so that's seemingly a good sign.
