Tyrese Haliburton Had Minor Leg Injury During Olympics 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Aug 12, 2024 6:05 am

Tyrese Haliburton was diagnosed with a minor leg injury and underwent an MRI during the Olympics, sources told Brian Windhorst of ESPN.


Team USA did not announce the injury during the competition.


Haliburton appeared in just three games, playing just 26 minutes.

He was so banged up in May during the Playoffs. It was not wise for him to play. Jaylen Brown should’ve been his replacement.

I really hope we don’t end up with Oladipo part two.

Why would he look bad for not playing? The guy was injured during the playoffs, and had no business on the US team anyway due to injuries. And your Tatum dig is pointless, Tatum should’ve been getting minutes.
