“Dude. I don’t know how to explain it other than the shock. Words cannot express the pain of this disappointment. Frustration is unfathomable. I worked all my life to arrive at this moment and that is how it ends? I have no meaning,” he wrote.
“Now that I have been operated on, I would like to be able to count the number of times people will tell me that I am going to” come back stronger “. What a cliché lol, this s — suck. My foot feels like a dead weight. But what hurts me the most, I think it’s my mind.
“At 25, I have already learned that God never gives us more than what we can manage. I know that I will get out on the other side of that a better man and a better player. And honestly, at the moment, Achilles torn and everything, I do not regret it. I would do it again and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. To have the chance to do something special.”

Three Achilles injuries in a single NBA season: what’s going on and how is it corrected?
Haliburton apologized to the city of Indianapolis for dropping the fans, although he did nothing like it.
He delivered one of the performance of the most epic playoffs of recent memory while breaking the hearts of fans in Milwaukee, Cleveland and New York on the NBA final. He almost did it at Oklahoma City if it was not for a calf strain that hindered it as well as the torn Achilles.
“Indy, I’m sorry. If a fans base does not deserve this, it’s all you. But together, we will fight like hell to come back to this very place and overcome this obstacle,” he added. “I have no doubt a second that you all have your back, and I hope you know that I have yours. I think Kobe said the best when in this same situation. There are a lot of problems / challenges in the world then a torn Achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, finding the silver lining and working with the same belief, the same dynamic and the same condemnation as ever.” And that’s exactly true. I will do everything in my power to return to the right.
“My trip to get to where I am today was not by chance, I pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do exactly that. I’m going to dust myself and get back to the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.”
Haliburton would also be likely to miss the 2025-26 season.
