The Indiana Pacers will be getting some reinforcements back following their 106-100 loss to the New York Knicks on Sunday night, but not in the form of a player.

After an initial ban following an on-court confrontation with Giannis Antetokounmpo, John Haliburton—the father of Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton—will now be allowed to attend Indiana's home games beginning on Tuesday night. He will, however, have to sit in a suite.
