That really sucks. Haliburton was playing like a top 5 guy when he was healthy. 25 year olds shouldn't be snapping their achilles.

I mean, it's game 7 of the NBA finals. I'd risk it.

Durant came back from a calf tear, tore achilles.

Haliburton came back from a calf tear......and maybe tore his achilles.

What a buzzkill.

Siakam needs to play the entire game. Don't sub him out for even a minute.

Couldn't have happened to a better dude...Hali has been a total class act despite getting a lot of heat/being called overrated over the last 2 yrs

Pacers won’t be in the finals next season, this may be their only chance in a long time. I hope they can still pull off an upset win tonight.

Dame Lillard too.

The East all of a sudden looks really good for the Sixers and Cavs next season. Probably Pistons too.
