Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers fell short of their quest for an NBA championship after losing Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Haliburton suffered what his father called an Achilles injury in the first quarter and was ruled out for the rest of the game. He was already questionable with a right calf injury in each of the last two games of the series.
Haliburton did not return to the bench after the injury but did watch the rest of the game in the locker room. The Pacers' star was seen on crutches after the conclusion of the game, greeting his teammates as they made their way back to the locker room.
