John Haliburton has been freed. By the Indiana Pacers, that is.
Tyrese Haliburton's father will be allowed to attend Game 4 of the Pacers' Eastern Conference finals matchup with the New York Knicks, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. However, he will be in a suite rather than seated near courtside.
John Haliburton had been barred from the Pacers' past eight playoff games after getting into an on-court exchange with Giannis Antetokounmpo after Indiana eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series on his son's game-winning shot.
Following the Pacers' series-clinching victory, Haliburton was seen taunting Antetokounmpo with a towel before the two shook hands and got into a forehead-to-forehead confrontation.
