Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton will remain sidelined with a left hamstring injury for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics (8 ET, ESPN), the team announced pregame.

The Pacers trail the Celtics 3-0 in the series before a must-win matchup in Indianapolis.

Haliburton missed Game 3 with the injury, which he suffered during a Game 2 loss in Boston.

The Pacers leaned on Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nembhard, T.J. McConnell and their depth in Game 3, but it wasn’t enough to hold off Boston’s rally to win.

With Haliburton out for Game 4, Indiana will need a next-man-up mentality to keep its season alive.

“We’ve just got to look at what’s in front of us,” coach Rick Carlisle said after Game 3. “We have the best fans in the NBA here. We’ve got the greatest basketball building on the planet. And we’ve got another in front of us to go after these guys and, believe me, we are going to go after them.”
