Haliburton’s reported Achilles injury marks the third of this postseason, following Damian Lillard of Milwaukee in the first round against Indiana and Boston’s Jayson Tatum in the semifinals vs. New York. Back in the 2019 Finals, Golden State’s Kevin Durant suffered an Achilles tear against Toronto.

All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton suffered a torn right Achilles tendon in the Pacers' NBA Finals Game 7 loss to the OKC Thunder.

Tyrese Haliburton knew what had happened right away. Just minutes into Game 7 of the NBA Finals, the 25-year-old Indiana Pacers guard drove to the basket, stepped awkwardly on his right leg and fell to the court in agony after injuring his Achilles.
