Pacers Haliburton Plays Through Calf Injury During NBA Finals

News summary

Tyrese Haliburton has been a pivotal figure for the Indiana Pacers during the 2025 NBA Finals, playing through a strained right calf that worsened into an Achilles tendon injury in Game 7, likely sidelining him for much of the next season. Despite his injury, Haliburton contributed significantly to forcing a decisive Game 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, who ultimately won the championship. Off the court, his girlfriend Jade Jones has been a crucial support system, helping him stay disciplined with his injury treatment through their shared ritual of watching the reality show "Love Island," which Haliburton credits for keeping him motivated during rehab. Jade even engaged with fans during the Finals, highlighting lighter moments amidst the high-pressure environment. The injury underscores a heartbreaking moment for the Pacers and their fans, as they fell short of their first NBA title since 1979. Meanwhile, the love and support from family and partner have been central to Haliburton's resilience throughout the Finals and recovery process.
