Tyrese Haliburton's Dad Banned From All Pacers Games for 'Foreseeable Future'

ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania reported the news on social media.

"After conversations with Tyrese Haliburton's father, John Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers front office, John Haliburton will not attend the team's home and road games for the foreseeable future, a Pacers spokesperson told ESPN."

Haliburton's father seemed to let his emotions get the best of him following the Pacers' series win over the Bucks. You can see him and Antetokounmpo getting into it after the conclusion of Game 5.

This is a move to both punish him for his actions, but also protect players from having this situation occur again. Luckily for Haliburton's dad, Antetokounmpo was able to keep his composure, otherwise, this could have gone terribly wrong.

This incident didn't sit right with Haliburton either, as the Pacers' star called out his dad for his actions following the game.

"After we won, I kind of blacked out a little," Haliburton said. "As far as the incident between Giannis and my pops, I had no idea it happened until I got to the back. I talked to my pops after, and I don't agree with what transpired there from him. He needs to just allow me to play basketball. I'll talk with Giannis about it. I don't think my pops was right."

Indiana advanced past the Bucks to move to the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. They will now be taking on the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers, and they have their work cut out for them.

The Pacers did take three of four games from the Cavaliers during the regular season, but two of the games were in the final week of the season. Cleveland had already clinched the top seed and wasn't playing normal rotations in the contests.

The series between the Pacers and Cavaliers begins this weekend.
