Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton could miss most of the 2025–26 NBA season after suffering a suspected Achilles tendon tear during Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The 25-year-old guard collapsed without contact while driving to the basket late in the first quarter of the Pacers' 103–91 defeat. Visibly in pain, he slapped the floor in frustration and was unable to put any weight on his right leg. He was helped off the court by teammates and medical staff. His father, John Haliburton, later confirmed on the broadcast that the injury involved his Achilles tendon.
