Indiana Pacer guard Tyrese Haliburton disclosed that during the Bucks-Pacers playoff game one at Milwaukee, some people hurled racial slurs at one of his brothers who was amongst the crowd.

His family’s situation is a Tyrese Haliburton focus, providing some insight on how this issue should be addressed. “In the other day’s game, while I was sitting in the stands, they called my young brother the N-word. This didn’t sit well with any member of our family.” The support network from his family and friends, who are usually present during games, had a huge significance in the different challenges he
The Bucks reacted to that by stating that it was concerning guests in their seats who accused the others of making an inappropriate remark, which the other participant denied making. The matter was brought to an end without any further increase in hostilities, and the Bucks promised that being a safe fan environment was their focus.
It is an unfortunate event, as several other controversies with fans in Milwaukee previously involved players such as Russell Westbrook and Draymond Green. However, during the game when they were playing in Milwaukee, they were both faced with the fans threatening them and the use of inappropriate behaviour.
In the third and following game, most likely to determine the opener, the series is tied at 1-1 with the Pacers hosting the Bucks.
