In a gut-wrenching moment, Indiana Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton suffered a serious leg injury during the first quarter of Game 7 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night. Midway through the opening quarter, Haliburton, attempting to drive to the basket, fell to the floor and was in immense pain as he pounded on the floor. He remained on the court before being helped off.
The immediate fear among fans was that Haliburton had suffered an Achilles injury, given that it was the same leg on whch he had strained his calf in Game 5. Haliburton's father John, through ESPN's Lisa Salters, confirmed that the Pacers star had indeed suffered an Achilles injury.
