Game 7 was one that was supposed to be for the ages; however, things turned sideways for the Pacers as they lost their best player and star guard, Tyrese Haliburton, to an Achilles injury. ESPN's Shams Charania shared the news on Monday.

The Pacers must prepare to be without Tyrese Haliburton for an extended period in 2025-26 after he sustained a torn right Achilles tendon in Game 7.

Tyrese Haliburton knew what had happened right away. Just minutes into Game 7 of the NBA Finals, the 25-year-old Indiana Pacers guard drove to the basket, stepped awkwardly on his right leg and fell to the court in agony after injuring his Achilles.
