Choking Bucks star "Brother Alphabet", Haliburton's father was banned from the Pacers' home and away games

In the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Pacers defeated the Bucks 4-1 in the series and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals. But there was an episode after the G5 series, when John Haliburton, the father of the Pacers' first brother Haliburton, ran into the court and choked the Bucks star Antetokounmpo in front of him, causing controversy.

According to a report by ESPN reporter Charania on the 2nd, John Haliburton will not have home and away games for the Pacers in the near future. After the Bucks were eliminated, players from both sides entered the court to shake hands and hug each other, but Antetokounmpo was choked in front of John Halliburton, which made Antetokounmpo quite dissatisfied and caused a conflict. Antetokounmpo was outspoken in his post-match press conference that he was not respected.

Haliburton himself disagreed with his father's actions, saying after the game, "Basketball is basketball and things should be left on the court." I think he was just too excited. Halliburton also said, "I don't think my dad was right like that." ”

ESPN reports that John Haliburton will not play home and away games with the Pacers for the foreseeable future after discussions with Pacers management. The Pacers will meet the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and the first game will start on May 4 (May 5, Beijing time).
