Indiana Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton to Miss 2025-26 NBA Season After Achilles Tear

News summary

Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton will miss the entire 2025-26 NBA season after undergoing surgery for a torn right Achilles tendon sustained during Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Despite the injury occurring early in the decisive game and Haliburton playing through a prior calf strain, the Pacers lost the championship to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Pacers president Kevin Pritchard emphasized that while Haliburton will not play next year, he is expected to return stronger and better in the future, and the team will not rush his recovery. Haliburton, a two-time All-Star, was instrumental in the Pacers' run to the Finals, averaging 18.6 points and 9.2 assists during the regular season and delivering clutch performances in the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Pacers face additional challenges after losing free agent Myles Turner to the Milwaukee Bucks, further complicating their prospects for the next season. The team remains hopeful for future success but acknowledges the significant impact of Haliburton's absence.
