Tyrese Haliburton's Achilles injury is devastating beyond the NBA Finals
Congratulations to the 2025 NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder. They're a deserving champion. Don't let anyone tell you different. It's easy to understand why some people might feel otherwise. The way Tyrese Haliburton went down after opening the game on complete fire robbed us of the Game 7 we thought we were getting. With three 3-pointers in the first seven minutes, Haliburton was on the verge of something special. Then, we got a swift reminder why a calf injury is nothing to play with. This was hard to watch. And Haliburton's devastated father confirmed what we were all thinking, telling ESPN's Lisa Salters it was an Achilles injury. That's not how the Oklahoma City Thunder wanted to win, and it's definitely not how the Indiana Pacers wanted to go down. NOT LIKE THIS: LeBron had a 1-word NSFW reaction to Haliburton's injury Regardless, the Thunder were the best team all season. We shouldn't discredit their accomplishment -- just like we shouldn't discredit Indiana's deep postseason runs of the last two years on the heels of major injuries to their opponents. This stuff happens. The Pacers still had to win those games, just like OKC had to finish yesterday. What this becomes, instead, is one of the biggest what-ifs in NBA history, especially if the Thunder go on to become the dynasty many of us think they have the potential to become. Because for all the talk of how OKC is built to be great for a long time, the Pacers came so incredibly close to delaying that timeline. Which says a lot about what the Pacers had the potential to become. That's part of why Haliburton's injury is so devastating. Not only did it take away Indiana's best chance to compete in Game 7, thus threatening to diminish the credit OKC deserves for winning a title, it also potentially hurts Indiana's chances to return to this stage next year. And let's be clear, after making two straight conference finals appearances and pushing the best team in the NBA to a Game 7 in the finals, the Pacers were on track for a special run of their own. Now, they're left wondering what could have been, and whether they'll even have their All-NBA point guard next season. That sucks beyond measure. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is elite By winning the NBA Finals MVP award, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander just accomplished something only three other players in NBA history have ever done: win the scoring title, regular-season MVP and finals MVP in the same season. And you might have heard of these three players. Their names are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan and Shaquille O'Neal. All Hall of Famers. SGA just joined that rarefied air. If it wasn't clear how special the 26-year-old was before, it should be now. Kevin Durant is a Rocket -- and the Rockets are contenders Kevin Durant' fingerprints were all over these NBA Finals, and it's not just because he was once the best player in the history of the team that eventually claimed the championship. Nor was it because Durant's torn Achilles in the 2019 finals showed us the perils of playing through a calf injury as Haliburton was attempting to do. Though those things certainly were a factor, the biggest reason we couldn't ignore Durant during these finals is because of his trade chatter that just wouldn't end -- until Sunday. Hours before Game 7 was set to tip, Durant was finally moved from the Phoenix Suns to the Houston Rockets, ESPN's Shams Charania reported. Here's the moment Durant found out about the trade himself. STARTING FIVE: Rockets' projected lineup with Durant And with that blockbuster deal, the Rockets are now viewed as the biggest threat to... you guessed it, Durant's old team, and the new champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder. While Indiana's 2026 title odds at BetMGM took a tumble from third-best at +950 to +4000 following Tyrese Haliburton's injury, Houston's odds shot up to second-best following the team's move for Durant. LSU won a title too It was a championship kind of day on Sunday, as the LSU Tigers also won a title, taking home the Men's College World Series with a 5-3 win over Coastal Carolina. It's the eighth national championship in the program's history and the second in the last three years, though the Game 2 win didn't come without a little drama. Coastal Carolina coach Kevin Schnall was tossed in the first inning. IT'S A PARADE: See photos from the Florida Panthers' celebration Quick hits: What about Jalen Green? ... Achilles theories ... and more That's all for today. We'll be back tomorrow with more. This was For The Win's daily newsletter, The Morning Win. Did a friend recommend or forward this to you?

Yankees-Red Sox Trade Idea Sends Proven Postseason Star to New York
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Yankees lost Gerrit Cole to Tommy John surgery in the spring, but never really made a move to replace him. The Yankees hoped to have Cole, Max Fried and Luis Gil leading their rotation this season. Gil and Fried were still slated to be a great duo, but Gil has been on the injured list all season. Now, Ryan Yarbrough, who had pitched well for the Yankees since joining the rotation, is also on the injured list. If the Yankees were running away with the American League East, they could afford to simply wait on their arms to get healthy. However, the Tampa Bay Rays have been the biggest surprise in baseball and are just 2 1/2 games out of the division lead. The Yankees need to add an arm, even if Gil and Yarbrough return. BOSTON, MA - APRIL 21: Walker Buehler #0 of the Boston Red Sox pitches against the Chicago White Sox during the first inning at Fenway Park on April 21, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. BOSTON, MA - APRIL 21: Walker Buehler #0 of the Boston Red Sox pitches against the Chicago White Sox during the first inning at Fenway Park on April 21, 2025 in Boston, key for the Yankees will be finding a rental arm who can take the ball in October. Sports Illustrated's Colin Keane suggested the Yankees go after the pitcher who ended their season last year, Walker Buehler. Buehler has struggled for the Boston Red Sox this year, but has a track record of success when it counts. In 19 postseason appearances, 18 starts, Buehler has a 3.04 ERA. He is a two-time World Series champion and dominated the Yankees in the World Series. He threw five shutout innings in Game 3 of the Fall Classic and then notched a series-clinching save on one day of rest. The only runs Buehler gave up last postseason came in the second inning of Game 3 of the National League Division Series. In his final 13 innings of the postseason, he had 13 strikeouts and was key to the Los Angeles Dodgers' World Series title. The Red Sox are a half-game out of a wild card spot entering play on Monday, so they may not be inclined to sell, especially to the Yankees. However, if they fall out of contention, the Yankees could show interest in Buehler. His 5.95 ERA this season is less than encouraging, but the Yankees would be banking on him dominating in October. Buehler is a two-time All-Star and could be a free agent after the season. He has a $25 million mutual option for next season. The Yankees could put his arm to good use if the Red Sox fall out of contention. More MLB: Yankees Trade Idea Brings Cy Young Award Winner to New York After Ryan Yarbrough Injury

Tyrese Haliburton injury 'sucked soul' from Pacers in NBA Finals loss
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton scored nine points in Game 7 of the NBA Finals on Monday in Oklahoma City. File Photo by Aaron Josefczyk/UPI | License Photo June 23 (UPI) -- Tyrese Haliburton's first-quarter leg injury "sucked the soul" out of the Indiana Pacers early on in their devastating loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, forward Obi Topppin told reporters. Toppin made the comments in the locker room after the 103-91 setback Sunday in Oklahoma City. The All-Star point guard conducted one of the league's best offenses throughout the regular season and postseason, but was forced to play through a calf injury in the NBA Finals. He made three 3-pointers in a 92-second span in the first quarter, but aggravated his leg issue and collapsed to the floor about seven minutes into the game. He never returned. "We needed Ty out there," Toppin said. "He's been good for us all year. For him to go down at the beginning of the game like that sucked that soul out of us. ... I don't feel like I played good because I was thinking about it the whole day and I felt like it was my fault." Tyrese Haliburton went down with an injury in Game 7. ESPN (@espn) June 23, 2025 The game was tied 16-16 with 5:02 remaining in the first quarter when Toppin threw a pass to Haliburton on the left flank. Haliburton, who already made 3 of his first 5 shots, caught the ball, threw down a dribble and moved forward while being defended by Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. But the Pacers guard collapsed to the floor during his initial burst, with the back of his right leg appearing to snap, potentially indicating an Achilles injury. Gilgeous-Alexander and Pacers players almost immediately went to comfort Haliburton, who was eventually assisted to the locker room, where he watched the rest of the game. "You just hate to see it in sports in general, but in this moment, my heart dropped for him," Gilgeous-Alexander said of the Haliburton injury. "I couldn't imagine playing the biggest game of my life and something like that happening. It's not fair. But competition isn't fair sometimes. "I just felt so bad for him. Just asked if he was okay. Obviously, he wasn't. Prayers go out to him, for sure. Hell of a player. Future is bright. That team is going to be really good for a long time. Yeah, impressive team, impressive player. Wish him the best of luck." Haliburton's father, who was visibly emotional in the stands, confirmed to ESPN that his son sustained an Achilles injury. Despite his absence, the Pacers went on to carry a one-point lead into halftime, but they faded over the final 24 minutes of the loss. "What happened with Tyrese, all of our hearts dropped," Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. "But he will be back. I don't have any medical information about what may or may not have happened, but he'll be back in time, and I believe he'll make a full recovery. "He authored one of the great individual playoff runs in the history of the NBA with dramatic play after dramatic play. It was just something that no one's ever seen and did it as 1 of 17. You know, that's the beautiful thing about him. As great a player as he is, it's always a team thing. And so, our hearts go out to him." Broadcast cameras caught Haliburton on crutches as he waited for his teammates in the tunnel after the game. The emotional Pacers players each greeted Haliburton one-by-one, with some exchanging long embraces with the star guard before going to the locker room. "That's just who Ty is," Pacers guard T.J. McConnell said. "To go down like that and be selfless and just continuing to cheer for us, and even though he can't play, I think that just speaks volumes to who Tyrese Haliburton is, one of the greatest human beings I've come in contact with. Great teammate. "Obviously hurting for him but that's just who he is."
