MILWAUKEE -- Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton said his younger brother was called the N-word by a fan while sitting in the stands during Game 1 of Indiana's first-round playoff series with the Bucks in Milwaukee.
Haliburton discussed the incident during his postgame news conference that followed the Pacers' 125-108 win in Game 2 on Tuesday night.
"My little brother in the stands the other day was called the N-word," Haliburton said. "It was important for us as a family to just address that. And that was important for us to talk about because that just didn't sit right with anybody in our family.
