Tyrese Hunter is not going to play on Friday. But Memphis' point guard is still going to contribute to the Tigers in a major way.

Memphis basketball guard Tyrese Hunter didn't play in Sunday's AAC tournament title win against UAB. But he still affected the game.

For the game, they could remain without their best player, as Tyrese Haliburton is on the injury report. The two-time NBA All-Star has missed each of the previous three games, so this would be his fourth straight out of action (if he doesn't play).

The Indiana Pacers are set to go head-to-head with the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night. However, is Tyrese Haliburton playing? Haliburton has been dealing with lower back soreness. As a result, there is uncertainty in reference to Haliburton’s status for Saturday night’s affair.
