Official announcement! FMVP list update, Halliburton s injury was released, Pacers 2 for 1 transaction was completed

NBA Finals were ups and downs, with the Pacers fighting the Thunder to 2-3. The Thunder team holds the finals point, and is only one victory away from the first championship trophy in team history. US media ESPN updated the winning rate of the G6 in the finals, with the Thunder playing away as high as 54.1%, while the Pacers playing home are only 45.9%. In addition, there are many new developments in the NBA Finals, let’s take a look.

FMVP list update

NBA officially announced the fifth FMVP list of the Finals, as follows: Alexander firmly ranked first (first in the last issue), Jaylenway rose to second place (third in the last issue), Sika rose to third place (fourth in the last issue), Halliburton fell to fourth place (second in the last issue), and Caruso firmly ranked fifth. Jaylenway made his 40-point performance in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain to reach the second place in the FMVP list, but he was not enough to threaten Alexander to lead the FMVP list, just because Alexander was stable and ruthless! So far in the finals, Alexander averaged 32.4 points + 4.6 rebounds + 5 assists + 2.4 steals + 1.8 blocks per game. At least from the current situation, Alexander has the opportunity to complete the feat of scoring + MVP + championship + FMVP Grand Slam.

Halliburton's injury is released

The Pacers' 2-3 behind is not the end of the world, but Halliburton's injury may become the last straw that crushes the team. Just now, Halliburton's injury was released. According to the latest report by the famous NBA reporter Shams, Halliburton suffered a strain on his right calf and will undergo an MRI test to determine the severity of the strain. According to Shams, once the Pacers learn about Halliburton's inspection results, they will discuss whether to let him play in the Finals G6. The Pacers are a civilian division with all the people. Halliburton's significance is not how many points they score, but the team needs him to connect. They only have to play team basketball to have the chance to challenge the Thunder's superstar basketball. I have to say that from Gordon pulling his thigh in the Western Conference semi-finals to Halliburton pulling his calves in the finals, the Thunder are really the biggest beneficiary of the injury!

Pacers 2-for-1 trade was reached

According to NBA famous reporter Shams, the Pacers and the Pelicans completed a 2-for-1 trade. The specific plan is as follows: the Pacers gave the signing rights of the 2025 No. 23 pick + Mojave King in exchange for the Pelicans' first round of 2026 that they had previously obtained from the Pacers. Regarding this deal, NBA salary expert Bobby Marks pointed out incisively: The Pacers will increase salary space flexibility, and the team's salary is expected to be lower than the luxury tax line of $20 million. More importantly, after the transaction is completed, the Pacers will have 4 first-round trading picks available for trading in the future (2026, 2028, 2030 and 2032). In other words, the Pacers are likely to become a big buyer in the offseason and continue to upgrade their lineup to strive for the championship! Fans, what do you think about this?
