Haliburton was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder after he suffered a leg injury with 4:55 remaining in the first quarter.
A slow-motion video of the exact moment Haliburton suffered the injury showed something snapping in his right leg. The Pacers didn't immediately give an update on the severity of the issue, simply noting that their star playmaker sustained a "right lower leg injury."

James couldn't help but feel bad for Haliburton and could only curse over what happened. Mahomes, meanwhile, was in disbelief and sent his prayers for the Pacers guard.

Griffin, on the other hand, expressed fear that Haliburton may have torn his Achilles. Several other fans had the same conclusion, especially after seeing replays of Haliburton's injury.
Haliburton's dad eventually confirmed the worst fear about the setback, revealing that his son suffered an Achilles injury. Lisa Salters of ESPN reported the news, adding that Haliburton is "doing as well as he can be" and is in "good spirits" as he watches the game in the locker room.
With the development, Tyrese Haliburton now faces a long road to recovery. It takes several months for a player to recover from the injury, including rehab and working to get back to game condition.

For example, when Kevin Durant suffered his Achilles injury in the 2019 NBA Finals, he missed the entire 2019-20 season and didn't return until December 2020. Meanwhile when Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant suffered the same injury in 2013, it took him eight months to come back to playing again.

Lou Gehrig had better luck at the plate, hitting for the cycle. 1937 — Augie Galan of Chicago became the first National League switch-hitter to homer from both sides of the plate in the Cubs' 11-2 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers. 1950 — Chicago's Hank Sauer hit two home runs and two doubles to send the Cubs past the Philadelphia Phillies 11-8. 1961 — Baltimore and California used a major league record 16 pitchers, eight by each side, as the Orioles edged the Angels 9-8 on Ron Hansen's 14th-inning homer. 1968 — Bobby Bonds, in his first major league game, hit a grand slam off John Purdin to help San Francisco to a 9-0 win over Los Angeles. 1988 — Cal Ripken Jr. plays in his 1,000th consecutive game. 1998 — Sammy Sosa broke the major league record for homers in a month, hitting his 19th of June leading off the seventh inning of the Cubs' 6-4 loss to Detroit. Sosa passed the mark set by Detroit's Rudy York in August 1937. 1999 — Jose Jimenez, a rookie right-hander having one of the worst seasons than any other NL pitcher, threw St. Louis' first no-hitter in 16 seasons, outdueling Randy Johnson in a 1-0 victory over Arizona. 2002 — Luis Pujols of the Detroit Tigers and Tony Pena of the Kansas City Royals became the first Dominican-born managers to oppose each other in a major league game. 2007 — A fan charged at Bob Howry during the Cubs' 10-9 win over Colorado after the reliever helped blow an 8-3 lead in the ninth inning. Howry gave up back-to-back RBI singles to Garrett Atkins and Brad Hawpe and a three-run homer to Troy Tulowitzki. The fan then jumped onto the field from the roof of the Rockies' dugout and made it a few feet from the mound before security guards tackled him.

Tom Gorzelanny replaces Zambrano who is removed from the game by manager Lou Piniella. 2011 — Cleveland's Tony Sipp balked home the only run with the bases loaded in the seventh inning of a 1-0 loss to San Francisco.

There also were two errors in the inning by second baseman Cord Phelps that spoiled a strong start by Justin Masterson. 2013 — Eric Filia drove in a career-high five runs, Nick Vander Tuig limited Mississippi State to five hits in eight innings, and UCLA won 8-0 for its first national baseball championship. 2014 — Tim Lincecum pitched his second no-hitter against the San Diego Padres in less than a year, allowing only one runner and leading the San Francisco Giants to a 4-0 win. 2015 — The San Francisco Giants hit four triples in a game for the first time in 55 years, including a pair by Brandon Belt in a 13-8 win over the San Diego Padres. Brandon Crawford and Matt Duffy also tripled for San Francisco, which had not tripled four times in a game since Sept. 15, 1960, when Willie Mays hit three and Eddie Bressoud one at Philadelphia. 2018 — The St. Louis Cardinals record the 10,000th win in team history with a 4-0 defeat of the Cleveland Indians.. They are the sixth major league team to do so. 2019 — The New York Yankees set a new major league record by homering in their 28th consecutive game. 2021 — Philadelphia Philles pitcher Aaron Nola ties Tom Seaver's 51-Year old MLB record of ten consecutive strike outs in a 2-1 loss to the Mew York Mets. 2022 — Three Astros pitchers combine to no-hit the Yankees, 3 - 0. 2023 — George Springer leads off the bottom of the 1st for the Blue Jays against the Athletics with a homer off Luis Medina. The 55th leadoff home run of his career gives him sole possession of second place on the all-time list, behind only Rickey Henderson. The Blue Jays win handily, 12 - 1. _____

Re-signing Myles Turner is still 'No. 1 priority' for Pacers offseason, Rick Carlisle says
INDIANAPOLIS – Re-signing veteran center Myles Turner remains a top priority for the Indiana Pacers in the offseason despite the Achilles tendon tear suffered by All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton, Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said on his weekly radio interview with 107.5 The Fan Tuesday morning. Turner, whose two-year contract could not be extended by league rule, will have his contract formally expire when the league calendar flips over at 6 p.m. on June 30. However, the Pacers can begin negotiating with him now that the NBA Finals are over. Reports have long indicated the Pacers intended to re-sign Turner and would be willing to go into the luxury tax to do so, but Haliburton's injury — which Carlisle acknowledged will likely keep him out all of the 2025-26 season — raised questions about whether the Pacers would want to re-consider that plan. Carlisle, however, indicated it would not change the Pacers' approach and it would be the most important potential move of the offseason. Doyel: Pacers could taste title. We're all sick to our stomachs for what's next "I don't think it's any secret that the franchise, at this particular moment, that that is the No. 1 priority," Carlisle said. "I don't know anything about money or numbers or years, or any of that kind of stuff, but Myles is a very important part of what we've done here, what we've been doing. He's a very important part of the history of the franchise, certainly over the last decade. I know that will be a big topic. I'm not privy to every little conversation going on there, but Myles is a very important part of what we're doing. That will be a big thing." Turner just finished his 10th season with the Pacers and is the longest-tenured player on the team. He leads the franchise in blocks with 1,412 for his career. He averaged 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game this season with his 144 total blocks ranking third in the NBA. He made a career-best 39.6% of his 3-point shots with a career high 156 3-pointers. He struggled in the Pacers' NBA Finals loss to the Thunder but averaged 13.8 points and 4.8 rebounds per game in the playoffs and his 46 total blocks were the most of any player in the playoffs. If Turner re-signs, the Pacers would have all five of their playoff starters signed through at least the 2026-27 season.

St. Louis Blues Unveil New Uniforms As Part Of 2025 Brand Evolution

More Rovak/St. Louis Blues) For the first time since 1997, the NHL's St. Louis Blues are changing up their look. They've gone back to the future, with new primary uniforms that feature a color palette inspired by the club's original jerseys from 1967. The team's iconic Blue Note logo has also undergone a subtle transformation, and the club is introducing some new marks inspired by its home city. 'The St. Louis Blues are a very tradition-based organization,' said Steve Chapman, the team's executive vice president and chief revenue and marketing officer. 'We have a very close-knit relationship with the city, with our fans and with our alumni, so one thing we were trying to accomplish was to was to honor our history and honor the heritage, but to do it in a way so that we can focus on moving forward — focus on this new era of Blues hockey.'

(Photo by Patrick McDermott/NHLI via Getty Images) The brand evolution project began in 2021, inspired by fans' head-over-heels reactions to the team's first-ever Winter Classic jerseys, from the 2017 event held at Busch Stadium. The popularity of the look led to the team adopting the style for its recent heritage jerseys, and it came out on top of a bracket-style fan poll earlier this year. Now, it becomes the team's everyday look. Jordan Kyrou celebrates a goal at the 2022 NHL Winter Classic at Target Field in Minneapolis, ... More Minnesota.(Photo by Nick Wosika/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) The new away jerseys were inspired by the team's 2022 Winter Classic look, but the cream base has been replaced by a sharp white. 'It absolutely pops,' Chapman said. Two elements of the new design have been hiding in plain site since last New Year's Eve.

More 2024 (Photo by Melissa Tamez/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) When the Blues took to the ice at Wrigley Field for their 6-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks, their latest Winter Classic jerseys included the redesigned Blue Note on the left shoulder, and a new STL mark on the helmet. The new Note has a slightly different shape, thicker keylines and simplifies the design to just blue and yellow, with beige removed. The interlocking STL mark has been a long time coming. Developed in conjunction with Mississippi-based RARE Design, it draws inspiration from a treble clef, paying homage to the musical roots of the city of St. Louis and the Blues' history. 'When you live in a city that has the St. Louis Cardinals and their iconic STL, it's hard to find something that either doesn't remind you of that or just comes off as, for lack of a better word, a little boring,' said Chapman. 'What was great about our work with RARE, the company that we worked with on these designs — I don't think they had any hockey background, but what they did have a background in is understanding the Mississippi Delta blues, which is largely what our team is named for. When they put that musical element into it, it was kind of amazing. Their first rendition, we were like, 'Wow, that's it. They've got it.'' New merchandise highlights the St. Louis Blues' new team marks — the redesigned Blue Note, STL, ... More Fleur and River Music. Two other new marks are also being introduced: a Fleur-de-lis design inspired by the flag of St. Louis and infused with a treble clef and note head, and the River Music mark which combines a trumpet with the city's iconic Gateway Arch. The team's new wordmark and Blues font also draw inspiration from the region's rich musical history. Rather than a re-brand, the team is calling its new designs a brand evolution. And there's still a place for the royal blue designs that have been the primary uniforms since 1997. 'It really was about honoring our history, and there's so much history that's within the current Note,' Chapman said. 'That's what we won the Stanley Cup in (in 2019). So this isn't taking everything and wiping the board clean and starting over with something. It's really evolving into our next step, our next phase.' The design process has been in the works since 2021, but the launch comes at an opportune time. After inking new coach Jim Montgomery to a five-year contract when he was hired last November, the Blues rode a strong second half into their first playoff spot in three years. Alexander Steen is also set to take over from Doug Armstrong as the team's new general manager in 2026. Jerseys won't be available for sale until the fall, but the new design is expected to make its first appearance at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles this Friday, where the Blues currently hold the 19th selection in the first round of the 2025 NHL Draft. 'Whoever our No. 1 draft pick ends up being, that's a pretty cool thing — to be the first official player to don it in that fashion,' said Chapman. 'The draft is always a little bit symbolic of transitioning from one season to the next, so I think this will be a really fun moment for us.' A selection of new St. Louis Blues shirts, hats, hoodies and other apparel and novelties are now available for purchase online and at the STL Authentics team store at Enterprise Center.
