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.

Haliburton’s reported Achilles injury marks the third of this postseason, following Damian Lillard of Milwaukee in the first round against Indiana and Boston’s Jayson Tatum in the semifinals vs. New York. Back in the 2019 Finals, Golden State’s Kevin Durant suffered an Achilles tear against Toronto.
