The Pacers have played in eight playoff games since the incident, and John Haliburton has not attended any of those matchups. The Pacers front office reportedly decided to place a ban on the two-time NBA All-Star’s father.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ESPN reported<\/a>, citing sources, that John Haliburton understood and accepted the decision at the time. He is not expected to attend Game 5 when the series shifts back to New York City.<\/p>\n

Instead of attending the past few games, John Haliburton has been seen in a local Indianapolis bar celebrating his son’s feats, such as making a buzzer-beating shot to force overtime in Game 1 against the Knicks. The Pacers went on to win<\/a> that game at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n

Tyrese Haliburton was not made available to reporters on Monday, when the Pacers confirmed their decision to lift the ban on his father.<\/p>\n

“I think a father-son relationship is special,” teammate Myles Turner said. “I grew up in a house where my father was a big part of my life, and this is a very special moment \u2014 conference finals, and you potentially move on. So I\u2019m glad that a father can see his son play.”<\/p>\n

The Knicks’ rallied in the fourth quarter on Sunday night in Game 3 to cut the series deficit. The Knicks’ 106-100 victory guaranteed a Game 5, which will be in New York. Game 4 is scheduled for Tuesday in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n
