Tyrese Haliburton has no regrets about trying to lead the Indiana Pacers to the franchise’s first NBA title, even though his decision to play hurt ended in agony when he tore his right Achilles tendon early in Game 7.

Haliburton’s reported Achilles injury marks the third of this postseason, following Damian Lillard of Milwaukee in the first round against Indiana and Boston’s Jayson Tatum in the semifinals vs. New York. Back in the 2019 Finals, Golden State’s Kevin Durant suffered an Achilles tear against Toronto.
