That decision was made by the Pacers front office, and ESPN reports Haliburton was "understanding" and "accepted the choice."
Haliburton, who is from Oshkosh, apologized for the incident and social media. He later told Scripps News the interaction was taken out of context.
The Pacers' second-round series against the Cleveland Cavaliers is scheduled to begin Sunday.
