Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton suffered a lower right leg injury in the first quarter of Game 7 of the NBA Finals and will not return. Haliburton, who had been playing with a right calf strain, collapsed to the floor after losing control of the ball. He had a strong start to the game, scoring nine points before the injury. Haliburton's absence is a significant blow to the Pacers, as he's been a key player throughout their playoff run, averaging 17.7 points, 9 assists, and 5.6 rebounds in 22 playoff games.
