Yeah you can tear your Achilles and miss next season as well.

And destroy your career. Not everyone comes back from that.

How many more times does playing a guy with a calf strain only to tear his achilles have to happen before it becomes common practice to just not do it.

From an OKC fan desperate to win this game, this is a terrible terrible situation. Haliburton had started very strongly and was meeting the moment and I feel awful for him.

Go OKC!

TJ's up. And if they win, TJ's getting a statue in Indiana

That sucks. Was on course for a great game. Hopefully he'll be ok.

Well, if TJ McConnell comes in and dominates this game en route to a win it's still one of the best sports stories ever.

Lillard, Tatum, and now Hali these playoffs.

Pacers at least have TJ McConnell who is more than capable but damn I don’t want to see game 7 end because of that

Unfortunately this chip for OKC now will now always have na asterisk attached to it. This socks big time

Every ring has an asterisk if you ask the haters.

Well, that about wraps up the Finals. It was meant to be this season for the Thunder.

Man Hali played his way into my heart. He seemed like just another player, but he's a certified dog. It's sad to see the Pacers "dynasty" end this way, though they might still find a way to bring this home, if McConnell goes crazy.

Tatum and now Hali...Is there anybody left going to compete next year? Just awful.

That's the end of Hali's season right there.

Probably lost next season too, calf strains are so dang dangerous.

Hate to see it. Hopefully Tyrese is ok.

Turning off the game. Too disheartening to continue on.

He popped it. He's done for a year.

We're back to being cursed.

Man, that's so horrible for so many reasons. But to happen in a Game 7? Man...feel horrible for Haliburton and Pacers fans.

Who wins the 2025 NBA Championship?
