Haliburton Reflects on Achilles Injuries in the NBA<\/h2>\n\nTyrese Haliburton, player for the Indiana Pacers, has shared his thoughts on the increase in Achilles injuries in the NBA during the past season. Haliburton, who suffered an Achilles rupture in the seventh game of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, believes that there is no definitive answer for this phenomenon, beyond bad luck.\n\nHaliburton was the third victim of an Achilles injury in the playoffs and the seventh in total last season.\n\n\n
\n \n

\u201cI think there\u2019s an idea that when guys get hurt or when this happens so many times, everyone thinks they have the answer for why it\u2019s happening. Everyone thinks we play too many games, we play too many minutes; all those things could be true, but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what\u2019s causing these injuries,\u201d Haliburton said.<\/p>\n \n Tyrese Haliburton<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nNBA Commissioner Adam Silver has also expressed that he doesn’t believe the number of games or the number of minutes are a primary factor, noting that most Achilles injuries occur in the first half of the season.\n\n\n

\n \n

\u201cSo I don\u2019t think anyone necessarily has the answer. I think injuries are just bad luck sometimes and that\u2019s what happened. I think that\u2019s what happens in sports sometimes,\u201d Haliburton added.<\/p>\n \n Tyrese Haliburton<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nHaliburton’s injury occurred while playing with a calf strain, which was officially diagnosed after Game 5, although he was already showing discomfort from Game 2. He passed a calf stress test before Game 6, which allowed him to play, and claimed to feel good before Game 7.\n\n\n

\n \n

\u201cAfter Game 6, I said, \u2018That\u2019s it, it\u2019s over, the adrenaline is going to hit me, I\u2019m going to be fine.\u2019 I go to Game 7, I feel nothing. I feel great before the game. I think that\u2019s why I had a great start to the game. My body felt great. Then, obviously, that happens at the end,\u201d explained Haliburton.<\/p>\n \n Tyrese Haliburton<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nA month after surgery, Haliburton is still using a scooter and the Pacers have already ruled him out for the entire upcoming season. He has spoken with Kevin Durant and Jayson Tatum, who also suffered Achilles injuries.\n\nThe Pacers’ point guard aims to make the most of the time until his expected return in the 2026-27 season.\n\n“I think I want to use this time to continue to grow my mind for the game. Being around coach [Rick] Carlisle. Sitting in on coaches’ meetings. [Pacers President of Basketball Operations Kevin] Pritchard, talking with those guys and helping out. I feel like I have a pretty decent basketball mind. So just trying to help the guys out the best I can. I’ll be on the bench as soon as I can walk,” Haliburton concluded.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
