Haliburton mimicked Bucks guard Damian Lillard’s “Dame Time” celebration by pointing to his wrist during Indiana’s victory over Milwaukee in last season’s semifinals of the NBA Cup, which was known then as the In-Season Tournament.

On Saturday night, the Indiana Pacers dropped the fourth and final game of their regular-season series against the Milwaukee Bucks, falling 126-119. Tyrese Haliburton was fantastic, scoring 25 points, dishing 15 assists, and racking up five steals without a single turnover, but it wasn't enough to keep up with the Bucks.

The Milwaukee Bucks win over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday has massive implications within the Eastern Conference standings.

Milwaukee center Jericho Sims, who appeared in 14 games since being acquired at the trade deadline, underwent surgery on Monday morning to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb, the Bucks announced,

The Bucks said Sims is expected to miss four weeks, meaning he probably won't return until postseason play begins. The playoffs start April 19, with the play-in rounds taking place April 15-18. Milwaukee (38-29) is currently fourth in the Eastern Conference, and the play-in rounds are for teams that finish seventh through 10th.

The Milwaukee Bucks may have been dealt another blow to their front court as center Jericho Sims may need surgery on his right thumb. Sims sprained it against Indiana on March 15 sometime in the first half.
