Tyrese's Haliburton's father, John Haliburton, has been a constant support to his son throughout the NBA Finals series. However, the Indiana Pacers' star had been facing a series of injuries during his recent games.
In Sunday's match, Tyrese Haliburton suffered what was later revealed to be an Achilles injury to the right leg that was already injured in the recent games. Later in the first quarter of the game, John Haliburton was seen in tears after his son's dreadful injury, which led to him walking out of the game soon after it started.

Due to this unfortunate event, the Pacers had to rule him out of the game. One of Pacer's fans tweeted on X, 'Tyrese Haliburton's dad's reaction to his son's injury…heartbreaking!'. 'John Haliburton, Tyrese's dad, couldn't hold back his tears after Hali got injured,' said another fan. With a series of comments flooding social media, fans are shattered by the unfortunate circumstance.

After being injured in the same leg, the Pacers' star player looked shattered as he had to be escorted to the locker room. Fans are calling it the most 'brutal' moment since they were expecting him to lead the team. Haliburton had made three three-pointers on the way to nine points before being struck by this brutal incident.
Without their A1 player, the Pacers, who had been scoring well, started feeling the pressure when the Oklahoma City Thunder lead 25-22 at the end of the first quarter.
Tyrese Haliburton is one of the leading players of the Indiana Pacers, who buried shots that either tied or won games in every single series. Seeing him suffering from two consecutive injuries, that too in the Finals, has left most fans shattered and numb.

IND vs ENG: Sloppy India let England off the hook at Headingley
Jasprit Bumrah of India reacts after Yashasvi Jaiswal drops Harry Brook of England (Photo by) The sky was closing in, the lights switched on, as India fought to find their way in this opening Test of the tour. The Sunday theatre at Headingley had its twists and turns. Earlier under a bright, blue sky the English late middle-order found its mojo to whittle India's lead down to six as Shubman Gill's boys spilled chances that came their way. And just when it seemed the hosts were on the ascendancy after removing first-innings centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal early, they ran into some stiff resistance by two Indian batters who seemed to be on a mission. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Till one of them — Sai Sudharshan — hit a middle-stump half-volley from Ben Stokes straight into the hands of Zak Crawley at short mid-wicket. Trying to make amends for his first-innings duck on Test debut, Sai, playing extremely late and close to his body, had battled his way to 30. His 66-run partnership with senior pro KL Rahul (batting on 47), seemed to be taking India to safe shores at the end of Day 3, till the lapse happened on the part of the left-hander. Rahul, though, at the other end, seemed to be in a different zone. There was a lot of help for the English pace bowlers, but not for once did it seem that the Karnataka batter was under any threat. Beautifully balanced with his bat face low and playing close to his body, Rahul kept the scoreboard ticking. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 오스템 임플란트 받아가세요 임플란터 더 알아보기 Undo India finished the third day at 90-2. India's Day 3 Test Review: Cloudy skies ahead | Weather twist at Headingley England let off the hook early For now, the game is in the balance, but things could have been much rosier for India. They got overnight centurion Ollie Pope (106) cheaply in the morning, paceman Prasidh Krishna being the beneficiary of a loose shot. With Jasprit Bumrah in the middle of a wonderful early spell, India were just one wicket away from taking control. But Prasidh and Mohammed Siraj were poor, to put it mildly. They hardly bowled the full length that is crucial for extracting the early movement, and Brook cashed in on anything short. On Saturday night, he had survived after getting out for a duck off a Bumrah no-ball, and it might have given him the belief that luck was on his side. Jasprit Bumrah press conference: Lashes out at critics, dropped catches and no balls There's a bit of natural flair in his game too, especially on true surfaces where there is not much spin on offer. He lost his captain Stokes (20), at a crucial juncture when England were 195 runs short of the Indian total, but that didn't stop him from launching a counter-attack. Another dropped catch at 82 by Jaiswal — again off Bumrah — with the second new ball gave him more confidence and at the other end, wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith (40) too showed some spunk before throwing it away. Quiz: Who's that IPL player? Brook's luck, though, finally ran out at a time when he was one short of his ninth Test century. His attempted hook off Prasidh couldn't clear the deep square-leg boundary as Shardul Thakur completed the catch. It was after this that India completely lost the plot. Brydon Carse and Chris Woakes tried to get the lead down and went into an attacking mode, as Gill's inexperience as captain came to the fore. With Prasidh and Siraj going for runs, he had to bring Bumrah and Jadeja back but he delayed it for far too long. The next 50 runs that India allowed to leak might just prove vital in the final outcome. Bumrah (5-83) did finally do the needful after being brought back for another spell, but England by then had enough oxygen to take the fight forward.

IND vs ENG: Jasprit Bumrah rising, but India's support-cast not taking cues
Jasprit Bumrah (Photo by) Being a lone ranger can be a tough job, and Jasprit Bumrah may already be feeling the pinch. Across the world, and across formats, the Indian team has been overly dependent on the 30-year-old. This over-dependence has already led the paceman suffer two serious stress fractures, leading to loss of availability and playing time, which has also probably cost Bumrah his Test captaincy. "I can't play more than three Test matches in a five-match series, given the condition of my body. So, I turned down captaincy for the England series,' Bumrah had recently said before the start of this tour. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Saying that Bumrah was overworked in Australia last winter was an understatement. At the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne, Bumrah was forced to bowl 54 overs, the workload ultimately leading to his breakdown in the final Test in Sydney in the first week of the new year. He was out of cricket for three months following the series Down Under. Jasprit Bumrah press conference: Lashes out at critics, dropped catches and no balls Six months down the line, at Headingley, defending a first-innings total of 471, Bumrah was once again India's only hope with the ball -- with little or no help from the other end. Time and again, he had to be brought back by skipper Shubman Gill and while it finally culminated in his 14th five-wicket haul, he had had to account for 25 of the 101 overs that India has bowled in England's first innings. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ductless Air Conditioners Are Selling Like Crazy [See Why] Keep Cool Click Here Undo While Bumrah's efficacy and potency is beyond doubt, it is the banality of the support-cast that is becoming a cause of headache for Indian cricket observers. Despite returning from a well-documented break following the Australian tour, Mohammed Siraj remains a mystery, losing the zing that had made him such a special bowler a couple of years ago. His seam position is wobbly, the length all over the place and alarmingly, the growing tendency to lose composure is adding to the problems. Prasidh Krishna , clearly a favourite of bowling coach Morne Morkel, meanwhile, hasn't yet figured the right length for English conditions. He was impressive in the Sydney Test, and was the best bowler in the IPL. He ended up with 3-128, but leaked runs. Quiz: Who's that IPL player? In the duration of the first innings on Friday and Saturday when the conditions were favourable for the pace bowler, Krishna bowled way too short and let the English batters off the hook. 'He struggled to bowl the fuller length bowling from the far end, which doesn't help when you're playing in England. Not sure how judicious it is to bowl bouncers with the new ball,' former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara pointed out during commentary as the English tail kept hurting India. The fact that captain Gill didn't show confidence in fourth pacer Shardul Thakur, didn't make things any easier for India. In such a situation, Gill, time and again, was forced to go back to Bumrah, not just for wickets but to contain the runs as well. As the workload increased, the fielders didn't help either, dropping four catches off him at crucial junctures. There was an element of helplessness creeping into his body language after his spell with the second new ball – a feature that didn't augur well for India. There's a second innings still to be played and it is imperative on Bumrah's support-cast to rise to the occasion. Else, India's lone X-factor bowler will once again stare at a burn-out and the next couple of months will prove a long grind for Gill's new India.

Insult To Injury For Indiana Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton; Achilles Injury Confirmation Looms
Last Updated: Tyrese Haliburton of the Pacers suffered an Achilles injury in Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Thunder, leading to a 103-91 defeat. Basketball can be cruel sometimes. It sure was for the Indiana Pacers' superstar Tyrese Haliburton, who was forced to an early injury exit in their NBA Finals Game 7 defeat to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday. Pacers talisman Haliburton — the pivotal figure in Indiana's run through the playoffs — was at the receiving end of a cruel joke that the NBA gods played on him, adding insult to injury literally. In the first quarter of Game 7, Haliburton was left in misery — after he tumbled to the court in a heap, when he immediately began punching the floor in frustration with what is believed to be an Achilles injuryburton got off to a strong start, scoring 9 points in 3-of-5 shooting. And it was all downhill for the Pacers since then. The 25-year-old, who had been nursing a right calf strain since last week, hobbled off the court supported by Pacers backroom staff, and was later seen on crutches following Indiana's 103-91 defeat. 'What happened with Tyrese, all of our hearts dropped," Carlisle said in a post-game press conference. 'But he will be back. I don't have any medical information about what may or may not have happened, but he'll be back in time, and I believe he'll make a full recovery." Haliburton's father earlier told ESPN his son had suffered an Achilles injury. The Pacers said Haliburton exited with a 'lower right leg injury." Carlisle, meanwhile, saluted Haliburton's role in an against-the-odds run to the brink of an NBA championship. 'He authored one of the great individual playoff runs in the history of the NBA, with dramatic play after dramatic play. It was just something that no one's ever seen."Coach Carlisle on Tyrese Haliburton's 2025 playoff run. — Indiana Pacers (@Pacers) June 23, 2025 'He authored one of the great individual playoff runs in the history of the NBA with dramatic play after dramatic play," Carlisle said. 'It was just something that no one's ever seen, and he did it as one of 17. You know, that's the beautiful thing about him. As great a player as he is, it's always a team thing. So, our hearts go out to him."
