The All-Star guard will undergo an MRI on Tuesday.

Tyrese Haliburton suffered an injury to his left leg in Monday night’s close win over the Boston Celtics. Haliburton had to be carried off the court by his teammates, causing concern among Pacers fans everywhere. 

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Pacers point guard will have an MRI done on Tuesday to determine the details of the injury. 

Indiana squeezed out a two-point win against the shorthanded Celtics, who were without Jayson Tatum—a big third quarter helped the Pacers secure the victory. Bennedict Mathurin led the team in scoring with 26 points in 29 minutes off the bench. 

The Pacers’ chances at a serious playoff run dip significantly if Haliburton misses multiple games. Indiana will try to get past the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night in front of their home crowd. They’ll likely have to do so without their best player.
