Tyrese Haliburton injured in Game 7 of NBA Finals

John Haliburton, Tyrese's father, told ABC it was an Achilles tendon injury. An MRI is still likely to confirm that, but there are simple tests — without a need for imaging — that doctors typically use to determine whether there is a serious injury to the tendon.

With five minutes left in the first quarter, Haliburton was attempting to drive toward the hoop when he collapsed to the ground. Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton tore his right Achilles tendon during the Pacers' 103-91 loss in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, according to ESPN and The Athletic.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton left Game 7 of the NBA Finals in the first quarter with a right leg injury. The Pacers announced during the second quarter that Haliburton would not return with what they called “a lower right leg injury,” per the ABC broadcast.
