Tyrese Haliburton has been one of the league’s top rookies during the first two weeks of play but he’ll be out for at least a week, according to a team press release.
The Kings guard underwent an MRI in Houston on Friday which confirmed a left wrist bone bruise. He suffered the injury during Thursday’s game against the Rockets.
His condition will be updated when the team returns to Sacramento next week. The Kings play at Houston on Saturday and Golden State on Monday before returning home.
The 12th overall pick in the draft out of Iowa State, Haliburton has scored 10.6 PPG while shooting 50% from the field. He’s also averaging 4.4 APG while playing 26.8 MPG off the bench.
“He plays beyond his years and we all have the utmost confidence in him with the ball,” starting point guard De’Aaron Fox told Shaun Powell of NBA.com. “He steps up to the occasion. He understands the game so well … you would have thought he’s played a few years already.”
Come on!!!
That’s too bad, Haliburton looked really good last night in Houston.
Not gonna lie, I’m glad he won’t be playing tomorrow. But he should have a very impressive rookie season and looks like he was a huge steal at #12.
Wow for an over the hill player. And one who’s always hurt. Sure is looking good so far. Suns are
5-1
Please tell us why Rockets are so much better.

Wish the knicks did not pass on him. We really needed a good pg more than a big .
As much as I like Toppin. Never thought he’d be there at 8. Halliburton was the guy I thought could help us most. Can’t help but think that still.
I was shocked and disappointed the Knicks didn’t snatch him at 8. I wasn’t even sure he’d be there. Not complaining about Toppin, I think the kid will be good and love his motor, but Halliburton was the pick that should’ve been made.
Okey out for two, three games is Okey. But please, please not more

Ahh. I bet on him for ROY. Get healthy son.
This can’t be happening…not another one. Something is seriously wrong. My heart is aching for these young men.
He broke his left wrist in college. It’s the same one, man. So they better take good care of him. What is going on this yr. Get healthy, don’t rush it.
