Tyrese Haliburton is recovering from an injury he sustained during the seventh game of the NBA Finals in 2025. The 25-year-old basketball player already had a calf muscle strain before the start of the game. So, it may have only been a matter of time before the situation worsened. After Tyrese was taken off the court during the game on January 22, 2025, his teammate on the Indiana Pacers, T.J. McConnell, praised him.
«That's just Tyrese. To leave like that, be selfless, and continue to root for us», - McConnell said, according to multiple sources. «Even if he can’t play, I think it speaks to who Tyrese Haliburton is, one of the most remarkable people I’ve ever met».
In the days leading up to the seventh game of the NBA Finals, Tyrese was dealing with leg tension but continued to play. After Indiana’s loss in the fifth game, the athlete spoke to journalists about his decision to keep playing.
«I mean, it’s the NBA Finals», - he emphasized, according to Yahoo! Sports. «I've worked my whole life to be here, and I want to be here to compete. To help my teammates in any way. Today I was far from a great game, but I didn’t even think about not playing here… If I can walk, I want to play».
However, a few days after this statement, Tyrese caught a pass in the first quarter of the seventh game and started moving forward, but fell. He was seen visibly upset and pounding the floor as teammates, opponents, and medical staff approached him.
Tyrese was then taken off the court, and his father, John Haliburton, told ESPN’s Lisa Salters that his son had suffered an Achilles tendon injury. However, Tyrese continued to watch his team play and cheer for them.
The Pacers lost the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
We pray for a speedy recovery. 🙏

Although the Pacers announced that Tyrese had a «lower right leg injury» when he left the game 7, many fear that an MRI may show an Achilles tendon injury, according to the NBA. At the time of publication, it was not confirmed whether Tyrese had an Achilles tendon injury.
Depending on the severity of the Achilles tendon injury, the athlete may need several weeks to months to recover. In the worst cases, surgical intervention may be required in addition to rehabilitation. According to the Cleveland Clinic, it may take four to six months for a complete recovery from a ruptured Achilles tendon
