John Haliburton, Tyrese Haliburton’s father, entered into a confrontation with Giannis Antetokounmpo after the Indiana Pacers beat the Milwaukee Bucks 4–1 in the series after Game 5, a conflict that garnered significant media attention.

Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers stole one from the Milwaukee Bucks. Indiana forced two turnovers in the final 29 seconds of overtime, and Haliburton blew past Giannis Antetokounmpo for the go-ahead layup with 1.

It is unknown if his absence would extend beyond this postseason if the Pacers advance or if it would continue at the start of next season.
