If Haliburton’s injury is confirmed to be a torn Achilles tendon, the Pacers had a player suffer one:
1) in Game 1 (James Wiseman)
2) 10 days later (Isaiah Jackson)
3) in their final game of the season (Haliburton)
The worst injury. – 8:56 PM

If Haliburton did indeed tear his Achilles, that would be the 8th Achilles tear of the season. The previous high was 5 (14-15). The total doesn’t include Thanasis Antetokounmpo who tore his in the offseason or prospect Jalon Moore who was injured in a recent pre-draft workout. – 8:54 PM

If Haliburton has suffered an Achilles injury he joins Damian Lillard and Jayson Tatum with similar injuries – all occuring in the post season. Each player wears the number 0 – 8:47 PM

ESPN, I’m good without the repeated viewings of the Haliburton injury at this point. Got it up until the end of the 1Q. But I don’t need him slamming the ground with his hand 45 times the rest of the game. – 8:47 PM

The Pacers are still going to play like Tyrese Haliburton is out there.
That’s as much on Rick Carlisle as it is on Hali.
But this team 100% buys into everything their best player does. – 8:45 PM

25-22 for OKC … SGA with 4 asists. Siakam strong to start with 7. Haliburton was cooking before injury (3/4 from three). – 8:39 PM

Feel awful for Haliburton. Heartbreaking on every level. In no stage other than The Finals would he be near the floor and this happens. Just terrible. – 8:37 PM

The pundits who said Tyrese Haliburton had to play through a calf strain, implying if he didn’t he was weak, are what’s wrong with sports. We all know what this kind of injury can lead to… – 8:36 PM

This game isn’t over. The Pacers have so many guys that can step up in Haliburton’s absence. This could inspire them. – 8:29 PM

I’m so sick for Haliburton. This is so horrible. He knew what it was right away. He has the heart of a champion going out there to fight for his teammates. And he was so amazing to start Game 7. Damn it man. – 8:27 PM

Pacers start 3/4 from distance, including b2b triples from Haliburton. That’s a great sign.
However, Nesmith picks up his second foul with 7:21 left in the 1st, so he’s replaced by Mathurin. – 8:15 PM

I’ve been struck thinking about how many notable teams of this era are represented on this Pacers core.
Process Sixers through TJ.
Thibs Knicks through Obi.
“Everyone is 6-8” Raptors through Siakam.
Tatum/Brown Celtics through Nesmith.
Kangz through Haliburton. – 7:34 PM

Pacers 111, Thunder 107.
Thunder lead by six at halftime. Game turns on a hot T.J. McConnell stretch end of third quarter/early fourth. Haliburton seals the game at the line. Siakam wins MVP with a 24-11-4 night.
Excited to find out all of the ways I’ll be wrong. – 6:53 PM
