Tyrese Haliburton injury: Pacers star ruled out for rest of NBA Finals Game 7
With 5:02 left in the period, after catching a pass from Obi Toppin and trying to blow past Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Haliburton tumbled to the floor with a non-contact injury. Haliburton immediately slapped the floor in pain and discomfort, expressing obvious emotion and frustration. After trainers spent several minutes tending to him, Haliburton was eventually helped off the floor and into the locker room with a towel draped over his head.
Haliburton had nine points, including 3 for 4 on 3-pointers, in seven minutes. The Pacers took a 1-point lead to the locker room against the Thunder at halftime, but his presence was missed on the court in the second half.
Haliburton suffered a right calf injury in Game 5 and was questionable for Game 6, but he managed to play and was deemed healthy enough to play in Game 7.
Tyrese Haliburton suffers Achilles injury
The Pacers announced, per ABC broadcaster Lisa Salters, that Haliburton suffered a right lower leg injury and will not return.
Haliburton had suffered various leg injuries throughout his career, but he suffered his most notable injury during the biggest game of his career.
Salters would later report on the broadcast that Haliburton's family went back to the locker room to check on his status during the game.
Haliburton's father, John Haliburton, told Salters that it was an Achilles injury that was keeping Tyrese out of the game.
"He says that he seems to be in good spirits," Salters said on the broadcast. "He's watching the game, and he's trying to root on his team from back in the locker room."
The injury will likely keep Haliburton out for the early part of the 2025-26 season.

Arsenal injury updates: Calafiori, Havertz & Trossard
Three senior players missed Arsenal's pre-season defeat to Villarreal due to injury, but Mikel Arteta is hopeful all could return in time for the weekend's final friendly. Photo via Arsenal on Twitter Kai Havertz, Leandro Trossard, and Riccardo Calafiori were all absent as Arsenal lost 3-2 against Villarreal in their first home pre-season fixture, though none of the injuries are thought to be serious. Havertz was withdrawn on the morning of the match after reporting muscle discomfort in the final training session. 'Yesterday in training he felt something and this morning he wasn't quite right, so we decided to rest him,' Mikel Arteta said post-match. 'I think it's going to be a matter of a couple of days, hopefully the weekend, if everything goes to plan, I think he will be fit.' Trossard, who sustained a groin injury during the club's 0-1 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur in Hong Kong, is progressing well and is also targeting a return for the next pre-season match against Athletic Club. Photo byCalafiori, meanwhile, is recovering from a minor knee strain picked up against Newcastle in Singapore. 'The three that we lost during the tour, it was Big Gabi, Leo and Richy, and for Saturday I think both of them have a chance, if everything in the next few days evolves in the way that it's been evolving in the last few days,' Arteta said, referring to Trossard and Calafiori. Photo via Despite the defeat, Arsenal's evening was not without positives. Christian Norgaard marked his Emirates debut with a headed goal from a Gabriel Martinelli corner, and 15-year-old Max Dowman made another lively cameo, winning the penalty converted by Martin Ødegaard. The game also saw first home appearances for several of Arsenal's summer signings, including Viktor Gyökeres, who had a quiet evening, and Noni Madueke, who received a warm welcome form the home fans after some morons online criticised his arrival.
