The Pacers star guard has not had an ideal start to the season thus far.
The Indiana Pacers have been in a slump, which continued on Friday when they suffered their third consecutive loss of the season to the Milwaukee Bucks, 129-117.
Haliburton has not been himself this season. He is in the first year of a five-year max contract that will pay him approximately $245 million, and he has yet to play like he deserves that money, not even a little. Injuries are not helping, but if you ask Haliburton, he thinks the problem is far from that. After Friday's loss, Haliburton was blunt on why his team has struggled thus far.. "It's not the reason we're losing. I gotta be better. I don't want to put it on lineups. We have a lot of young guys playing hard, trying their best. I gotta be better."
After averaging better than 20 points per game in each of the past two seasons, Haliburton is down to 15.3 this season. He's never shot worse from the field than 47 percent for a whole season, but he's made just 37.8 percent of his shots this year. He'd never shot worse than 40 percent from 3-point range before slumps last year dragged him down to 36.4 percent. He's down to 29.4 percent this year, making just 37 on 126 attempts.
