The Indiana Pacers return to Gainbridge Fieldhouse this week, but their star won't be on the court for a while.

Tyrese Haliburton will continue injury management for his left hamstring, the team announced Tuesday morning. He won't play in the Pacers' next three games, when they host the Denver Nuggets (Tuesday), Philadelphia 76ers (Thursday) and Phoenix Suns (Friday).

He will be re-evaluated Saturday, before the Pacers host the Memphis Grizzlies.

Haliburton suffered the injury Jan. 8 against the Boston Celtics, doing the splits as he slipped while driving to the basket. He has missed six games since but played Jan. 17, a loss to Portland in which he had 21 points and 17 assists.

The Pacers are 3-3 in the games he missed, and they have traded for Pascal Siakam.
