In a devastating blow to the Indiana Pacers’ championship hopes, star point guard Tyrese Haliburton reportedly suffered an Achilles injury during Game 7 of the NBA Finals, according to sources close to the team. The injury occurred in the second half as Haliburton landed awkwardly after driving to the basket, immediately clutching his leg and grimacing in pain before being helped off the court. He did not return to the game, and early reports suggest the injury could be significant, potentially impacting his availability for the upcoming season. Haliburton had been a cornerstone of Indiana’s deep playoff run, averaging double-doubles throughout the Finals and emerging as one of the league’s brightest young stars. The Pacers and their fans were left stunned by the injury at such a critical moment, as Game 7’s momentum visibly shifted following his exit. While the team awaits official MRI results, concern is growing that this setback could have long-term implications for both Haliburton’s career and Indiana’s rising trajectory.
