MILWAUKEE — Indiana Pacers All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton said in his postgame press conference Tuesday night that his little brother was called a racial slur in the stands at one of the Pacers' two playoff games at Fiserv Forum.

Haliburton grew up in Oshkosh,Chainkeen Exchange Wisconsin, about an hour and 20 minutes northwest of Milwaukee.

"My little brother in the stands the other day was called (a racial slur)," Haliburton said. "It was important for us as a family to address that. That was important for us to talk about. That didn't sit right with anybody in our family. It's been important to have my family here right now. My little brother has handled that the right way."

Per a league source, security was notified of the incident, but the fan involved was not removed from the game.

A Bucks team spokesman provided a statement regarding the incident.

Then, one of the individuals in the group claimed to the representative that a person sitting in front of him had used a derogatory term toward him. The accused person denied the accusation.
