Tyrese Haliburton's father apologizes for confrontation with Giannis Antetokounmpo after Pacers' series win over Bucks

Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton's father apologized to several parties after an on-court confrontation with Giannis Antetokounmpo on Tuesday night.

After his son put the nail in the Bucks' coffin to help Indiana advance in five games, John Haliburton appeared to be in a verbal altercation with Antetokounmpo following the final buzzer.

After the two shook hands and started exchanging words, Antetokounmpo and Haliburton got in each other's faces and needed to be separated.

"I sincerely apologize to Giannis, the Milwaukee Bucks and the Pacers organization for my actions following tonight's game," an X account under John's name wrote early on Wednesday.
