NBA players with calf strains should not be allowed to play. We’re now 2 for 2 in the Finals on catastrophic injuries from guys trying to push through it, and now Haliburton is down. Wishing him the best, but this absolutely shouldn’t be allowed anymore.

Update:

I think everyone is hoping it isn't an Achilles.

Hali may never be in the finals again let alone a game 7.

Usually I agree but you can't pass up this opportunity because of a calf strain. He'll take the year out for this one opportunity.

Don’t think so. My guess is torn calf muscle.

It's getting to the point of playing playoff level basketball with a calf strain needs to be off limits. Hopefully it's not as bad as it looked and just moved to a grade 3 strain or something

It's game 7 of the Finals. Every single player in the league would roll the dice in Hali's situation.

Was this the same thing that happened to Klay and Durant? I have never paid attention to it.

That is my hope. It tore where the strain was. Hopefully it is in the muscle and not the heel

Everyone saying Hali was faking it in the last game thread owes him an apology.

That suuuucks.

It won’t happen, and I won’t advocate for it, but this is kinda the case for what the op is saying.

Is this the b-ball equivalent to the nfl concussion where it should be out of the player’s hands?

This is a no win for the players. Of course they’re going to play in these situations. It’s a much more interesting debate than I’d initially think.

Oh man. That sucks for Haliburton and for Indiana. But yeah we already saw it happen to KD. It's tough to tell these guys no when they're trying to play for a championship.
