What should have been a thrilling NBA Finals Game 7 transformed into an emotional, tragic affair on Sunday night after Indiana Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton went down with what was later deemed to an Achilles tear early in the contest.
The team leader played just seven minutes and put up nine points before falling to the hardwood in total agony. He had been dealing with a calf injury in the lead-up to the game, but had elected to play through it once more.
