This is not how Indiana star Tyrese Haliburton saw the season ending. He was outside the locker room, a walking boot on his right leg, standing on crutches, greeting his teammates as they came off the floor at the end of their season.

Tyrese Haliburton injured his Achilles tendon in Game 7 of 2025 NBA Finals, his father told ESPN. The injury will sideline Pacers star vs. Thunder.

Without Haliburton in Game 7, the Pacers will need the rest of the team to step up. It starts with Eastern Conference Finals MVP Pascal Siakam, but they'll also count on Myles Turner's defense and paint presence, Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith's shooting, and T.J. McConnell's spark off the bench.
