John Haliburton, father of Pacers star point guard Tyrese Haliburton, was watching from a suite high above the hardwood after a skirmish with Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo got him temporarily banned from attending games.

The Oklahoma City Thunder bring arguably their best team in franchise history into the NBA Finals, led by MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and a strong group of players alongside him.

Tyrese Haliburton will have his dad in attendance as he tries to win his first NBA Finals. During Wednesday's media availability before Game 1 of The Finals Thursday night, Haliburton revealed to reporters that his dad will be "in the building" for the series against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
