Will Tyrese Haliburton play tonight against Chicago Bulls? Latest update on the Indiana Pacers star's injury report (March 2, 2025)

The Indiana Pacers (33-25) will host the Chicago Bulls (24-36) on Sunday, March 2, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, but all eyes are on the injury report, particularly the status of star guard Tyrese Haliburton. The Pacers are navigating a challenging stretch with two players sidelined, while the Bulls are dealing with a lengthy list of seven players on their injury report.

Tyrese Haliburton will be playing tonight against the Chicago Bulls. Tyrese, the Pacers' leading playmaker, has been a critical piece of Indiana's offense, averaging 17.5 points and 8.1 assists over the last 20 games. While Haliburton is not listed on the official injury report, his recent workload and the Pacers' cautious approach have sparked speculation about his condition.

The Pacers will definitely be without Bennedict Mathurin, who is out with a wrist injury, and Isaiah Jackson, who is sidelined for the season due to a calf issue. Mathurin’s absence is a significant blow, as he has been a reliable scorer off the bench, averaging 13.2 points per game.

On the Chicago Bulls' side, the injury list is extensive. Patrick Williams (knee), Kevin Huerter (knee), and Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) are all out, while Nikola Vucevic (calf) remains sidelined. However, there’s some positive news for Chicago, as Coby White (toe), Josh Giddey (ankle), and Lonzo Ball (wrist) are listed as probable. Giddey, in particular, has been a standout for the Bulls, averaging 15.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 6.2 assists over the last 20 games.
The Pacers enter the game with a +60 scoring differential, ranking 10th in the league with 116.4 points per game. Pascal Siakam has been their leading scorer, putting up 22.1 points per game in the last 20 contests. Tyrese Haliburton’s ability to facilitate the offense and knock down threes (3.0 per game) will be crucial if he’s available.
For the Bulls, their -227 scoring differential highlights their struggles, ranking 29th in defense. Despite their injuries, they remain a potent offensive team, ranking third in three-pointers made per game (16.0).

The game tips off at 5 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on FDSIN and CHSN, with live streaming available on Fubo. Fans can also engage with the action through FanDuel Fantasy.
