"Pulled out the Arthur outfit"- NBA fans draw hilarious parallels for Tyrese Haliburton's Lacoste Cardigan look

Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton was seen donning a outfit on Saturday that had fans comparing him to Arthur Read. Haliburton showed up to Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals in a yellow outfit.

He wore a yellow Lacoste Cardigan and khaki pants. He had a white T-shirt underneath the cardigan and topped his look with some clear spectacles. Although the Pacers star must have liked the look, fans online sthought otherwise.

A fan took an image of Tyrese and uploaded it alongside an image of Arthur on X.

"Just now watching the Celtics-Pacers game and I noticed that Haliburton pulled out the Arthur outfit"

Another set of fans questioned Haliburton's decision to choose an Arthur-like outfit.

"Why is Tyrese Haliburton dressed like Arthur," @scrapyii said.

"Why is Haliburton dressed like Arthur?," @mtwill42 said.

Other fans trolled the star for his fashion sense and missing the crucial game.

"Once you realize that Tyrese Haliburton looks like Arthur sitting on the Pacers bench tonight you can’t unsee it," @whoisroderic said.

"Tyrese Haliburton dressed like Tyler the Creator just to look like Arthur (again)," @patrickmg_ said.

One more fan uploaded an image of Arthur and Tyrese side by side, drawing a comparison between their faces.

"Haliburton looks like Arthur bro."

Haliburton missed the crucial Game 3 against the Celtics due to a left hamstring soreness that he acquired in Game 2. His absence was visible on the court as his team struggled to make it past the Celtics, losing 114-111, giving Boston a 3-0 lead in the series.

Tyrese Haliburton may not return against the Boston Celtics

Game 2 might be the last time the fans saw Haliburton play against the Celtics in this series. He suffered a non-contact injury in Game 2 that ruled him out from Saturday night's Game 3. The Pacers announced that their star guard will not be playing because of a left hamstring soreness.

The Pacers did their best without but struggled dealing a finishing blow which gave Boston the time to bounce back and snatch victory from them in their home. ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski appeared on NBA Countdown and shared his insights on Haliburton's situation.

"The Pacers are going to air on the side of caution on this left hamstring injury and for that reason you may have seen Tyrese Haliburton for the last time in this series," Wojnarowski said.

Woj remarked that Haliburton had to spend 10 days away from any action earlier because of this same left hamstring and the Pacers will not force him into a situation where it can get worse.

Woj revealed that the guard will be reassessed on Monday before Game 4 before the franchise make any big announcements. However, Wojnarowski sounded doubtful about Tyrese Haliburton rejoining the Pacers in this series.
