His Game 7 lasted a handful of minutes. When there was exactly 4’55” left in the first quarter, Haliburton slumped to the floor. Much pain and the certainty of the end of his NBA Finals. Heavily weighted medical response: ruptured d’Achilles tendon.

A very hard blow for the Pacers’All Star who, in fact, will miss the entire upcoming NBA season but, more importantly, an injury that prevented him from helping Indiana to win his first NBA ring. There are those who think he shouldn&#8217t have taken the court, given the calf problem he suffered during Game 5.

This is not the thinking of Haliburton who, in a lengthy post, said he would never back down: “I would do it again and do it again to fight for this city, with my brothers. To have a chance to do something special” his clear words reported by ESPN.

“Words cannot express the pain of this disappointment. The frustration is enormous. I have worked all my life for this moment and then everything ends like this? It makes no sense”, continued the’Indiana all-star. The 25-year-old point guard is already ready to go again: “Look how I&#8217m going to recover from this. Give me some time and I’ll get back up. I will come back and be the best version of Tyrese Haliburton“ his closing remark.
