Tyrese Haliburton's father staying away from Pacers games

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

This was a decision made by the team's front office, and John Haliburton was understanding and accepted the decision. The move comes after John Haliburton and Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo got into a heated confrontation following Game 5 of the teams' first-round playoff series Tuesday, spurred by what Antetokounmpo called a "disrespectful" exchange on the floor.
