Tyrese Haliburton suffered the worst possible injury.

The worst has been confirmed. What we all feared. According to ESPN, Tyrese Haliburton has suffered an Achilles tendon rupture after having to leave the seventh game of the NBA Finals that Indiana Pacers ended up losing to Oklahoma City Thunder. 

Haliburton, who had been playing with a strained right calf in an attempt to win the championship, got injured without contact while attempting a drive with 4:55 remaining in the first quarter. He fell to the floor immediately, hitting the court in frustration, while his visibly affected teammates surrounded him.

Pacers' coach Rick Carlisle summed up the moment with a clear statement: "All our hearts sank."

The player is considering surgical options to address the serious injury, according to the same sources.
