Tyrese Haliburton's father, John, confirmed to ABC and ESPN sideline reporter Lisa Salters that Tyrese has an Achilles tendon injury, Salters reported on the ABC broadcast of Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

Without Haliburton in Game 7, the Pacers will need the rest of the team to step up. It starts with Eastern Conference Finals MVP Pascal Siakam, but they'll also count on Myles Turner's defense and paint presence, Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith's shooting, and T.J. McConnell's spark off the bench.

The Indiana Pacers tied up the series against the Oklahoma City Thunder, forcing the first Game 7 in the NBA Finals since 2016.
