INDIANAPOLIS) – Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton is sharing his story just 24 hours after suffering a leg injury during Game 7 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night. 

He’s undergone surgery for an Achilles tear and says his foot feels like dead weight.

He added that Indiana deserves a championship and he will fight for it again.

“Together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours,” Haliburton said.
