"He's not 100%, it's pretty clear, But I don't think he's gonna miss the next game. We were concerned at halftime and he insisted on playing. I thought he made a lot of really good things happen in the second half, but he's not 100%,' Carlisle had said, after Game 5.
Tyrese Haliburton has been one of the most important players for the Indiana Pacers, and not having him for the game could be difficult to make.

He said per CBS, "I mean it's the NBA Finals, It's the Finals. I've worked my whole life to be here. It was not really a thought of mine to not play here. If I can walk, then I want to play."
But fans have been worried over Haliburton missing the Game 6 of the NBA Finals. Taking to social media, fans reacted.
A fan said, 'This means Johnny Furphy is gonna get minutes most likely. They need every abled body to put up defense on SGA and Jalen Williams.'
Another fan reacted, saying, 'Feels like the pacers going to win and Tyrese will play game 7 and have 12 assist with a championship.'
Another fan said, 'That's the right way to approach it though. If he can go that's even better but it's best to prep like he's not gonna be on the floor.'

'F**k the Bruins': Brad Marchand's Stanley Cup heroics with Panthers reignite backlash over Bruins trade decision
Brad Marchand's Stanley Cup victory with the Florida Panthers has intensified criticism of the Boston Bruins' decision to release him (Getty Images) Brad Marchand's journey from being the face of the Boston Bruins to lifting the Stanley Cup with the Florida Panthers has sparked renewed debate—and outright criticism—about the Bruins' decision to let him go. At 37, Marchand played a pivotal role in Florida's playoff run, proving not only that he still has gas in the tank but also that Boston may have misjudged the value of one of their most iconic leaders. Brad Marchand proves his worth in Florida after emotional departure from Boston The veteran winger, Brad Marchand scored 10 goals and tallied 20 points in just 23 playoff games. His short-handed breakaway in Game 2 and the double-overtime game-winner solidified his clutch reputation and made his presence impossible to ignore. Reflecting on his exit from Boston, Marchand had said, 'It was very disappointing that things didn't get done just because, obviously, I love the organization. I wanted to stay there. But at the end of the day… every player has a shelf life regardless if that's when we want it to be or not.' Criticism of Bruins management erupts as Marchand leads Panthers to glory Marchand's postseason brilliance has triggered sharp reactions from fans and former players alike. On the Spittin' Chiclets podcast, Paul Bissonnette didn't mince words: 'That's why Brad Marchand... I don't know why Boston didn't just give him the fucking 7 million per with the way he played. So fuck the Bruins for doing that.' Co-host Ryan Whitney chimed in, saying, 'Don Sweeney, what are you doing?... he's your captain, a legend. Why did they betray him?' Their comments reflect a growing sentiment that the Bruins made a colossal error by prioritizing cap flexibility or a potential rebuild over loyalty and leadership. Florida GM Bill Zito praised Marchand's seamless integration into the team: 'As impactful as they are on the ice… you wouldn't have been able to tell that those were the new guys... that speaks volumes.' Zito also hinted at wanting to keep the core intact, including Marchand, who clearly gelled both on and off the ice. Also Read: NHL Rumors: Conflicting reports spark controversy over Evgeni Malkin's Penguins future as retirement rumors grow louder Whether the Panthers can re-sign him remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Boston's loss is Florida's gain, and Marchand's resurgence has reignited a debate that won't go away anytime soon.

Why Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is telling Lakers fans to keep 'hands off' Ohtani
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has a playful message for Lakers fans about Shohei Ohtani, now that the baseball and NBA teams will have the same majority owner. 'Hands off of Shohei,' he said, smiling. 'They got enough superstars wearing the purple and gold. Leave him alone.' Social media on Wednesday was rife with photos of the Japanese two-way superstar's face and body in a Lakers jersey after news broke that Dodgers controlling owner Mark Walter is buying a majority interest in the Lakers from the Buss family for $10 billion. Fox baseball analyst Ben Verlander posted on X: 'We're really about to have Shohei Ohtani out here dropping 50 on Christmas Day for the Lakers. What a time to be alive.' Another person suggested Ohtani could be a two-way player for the Lakers, while someone wondered if the Lakers would start Ohtani at the 2 or 3 position. Others thanked Ohtani for deferring most of his $700 million, 10-year contract and, as one person posted, 'putting all that money in Mark Walters' pockets so he can buy and save the Lakers franchise.' The Lakers already have a Japanese player in forward Rui Hachimura. 'I think Hachimura is taking care of the Japanese side of things,' Roberts said. 'We'll have Shohei on the baseball side.' Last December, Ohtani and his wife attended a Lakers game and were presented personalized jerseys. His wife, Mamiko Tanaka played four seasons for the Fujitsu Red Wave of the Women's Japan Basketball League. Roberts appeared to warm to the suggestion that he might be sitting in the celebrity-packed courtside seats at Lakers games this winter. "I'm sure a lot of people have hit Mark up," he said, "but I might add myself to the list." More baseball: /MLB
