Tyrese Haliburton breaks silence with a heartfelt message after Indiana Pacers' devastating Game 7 loss to OKC Thunder in NBA Finals
Tyrese Haliburton injury. Image via: Nate Billings/ AP Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton faced the cruelest twist of fate during the most important game of his career. Just seven minutes into Game 7 of the NBA Finals, Haliburton, who had started hot with three early three-pointers, collapsed to the floor in pain. Diagnosed with a torn Achilles, the injury forced him out of the game, leaving the Pacers without their leader in a 103–91 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. On Monday, he addressed fans with a vulnerable, emotional message from his hospital bed. Tyrese Haliburton undergoes surgery and speaks from the heart in a heartfelt message Following surgery in New York City, Tyrese Haliburton took to social media Monday night, just one day after the injury, to express gratitude and share his mindset. 'Man. Don't know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I've worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense,' Haliburton shared. He continued, 'Now that I've gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I'm going to 'come back stronger'. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what's hurting most I think is my mind. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Feel like I'm rambling, but I know this is something I'll look back on when I'm through this, as something I'm proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y'all seeing the kid ugly cry. ' Haliburton added that he has no regrets and would "do it again" for his team and city. Despite the torn Achilles, he believes the experience will shape him into a better man and player. 'At 25, I've already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I'll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don't regret it. I'd do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.' The Pacers guard also issued an emotional apology to Indiana fans, promising to fight like hell to return stronger and finish what they started. Quoting Kobe Bryant, he vowed to stop feeling sorry for himself and get to work with the same drive and conviction. 'Indy, I'm sorry,' he apologized. 'If any fan base doesn't deserve this, it's y'all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don't doubt for a second that y'all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. 'There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever. ' And that's exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.' Further, with confidence and humility, Haliburton promised to dust himself off and return as the best version of himself. 'My journey to get to where I am today wasn't by happenstance, I've pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that,' he shared. 'The most important part of this all, is that I'm grateful. I'm grateful for every single experience that's led me here. I'm grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don't 'have to' go through this, I get to go through this. I'm grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I'll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.' Later, he added his jersey number, with apparently a minus sign, and then finished his lengthy message for fans with a quote from the Bible. 'Proverbs 3:5-6 'Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.''
