Tyrese Halburton left his pacers teammates a few minutes after the start of match 7 of the NBA finals against Oklahoma City. The Indiana playmaker suffers from a rupture of the Achilles tendon and will be absent for many months.
The Pacers may have lost even bigger than the NBA finals this Sunday. If Indiana bowed against Oklahoma City (91-103) in match 7, the unhappy finalist of the 2024-2025 season lost Tyrese Haliburton for several months.
Despite a big start to the match with nine points in a few minutes, the playmaker was then seriously injured and collapsed on the prosecution. And the first concerns were finally confirmed on Monday. According to information from specialized journalist Shams Charania, Tyrese Haliburton suffers from a tear of the Achilles right tendon.
Several months of absence for Haliburton
Author of big performances during the play-offs, Tyrese Haliburton gave everything to try to win his first NBA title. Victim of an elongation of the calf during the NBA finals, the playmaker had managed to hold his place despite this first injury.
Unfortunately for him and the Pacers, that was not enough to beat the franchise guided by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, elected MVP of the NBA finals, and best scorer of the match 7 with 29 points.
