Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton underwent surgery Monday to repair his torn Achilles, which he ruptured early in Game 7 of Sunday's NBA Finals. And on Tuesday, coach Rick Carlisle revealed a bit about his first phone conversation with Hali after the operation had finished.
Speaking on Indy-area radio station 107.5 The Fan, Carlisle described the pair's post-op talk as "uplifting," and said the guard sounded positive, despite the circumstances.
