Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton suffers right leg injury in NBA Finals. His father says it's an Achilles
Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Indiana star Tyrese Haliburton was starting a move toward the basket, and his right leg didn't seem to move with him. And the ensuing scene was heartbreaking for the Pacers. Haliburton — who was playing with a strained right calf — tumbled to the court in a heap, immediately began punching the floor in frustration and needed to be helped to the locker room in Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night. John Haliburton, Tyrese's father, told ABC it was an Achilles tendon injury. An MRI is still likely to confirm that, but there are simple tests — without a need for imaging — that doctors typically use to determine whether there is a serious injury to the tendon. The Pacers quickly ruled out Haliburton for the rest of Game 7 with that they called a lower right leg injury, and replays appeared to show something popping in the back of his leg. The injury happened with 4:55 left in the first quarter. Haliburton put no weight on the leg and had his face wrapped in towels as he was taken to the Pacers' locker room for evaluation. Virtually the entire Indiana playing, coaching and medical staff surrounded him on the court once he got hurt. 'It's a heartbreak, man,' Pacers center Myles Turner told ABC during an in-game interview after the opening period. 'It's unfortunate ... but we've got his back.' Haliburton, who had been dealing with leg issues in the series and had the calf issue flare up in Game 5, had been getting all sorts of treatment to get the calf in good enough shape for him to play in the last two games of the NBA Finals. He played well in Game 6, and Game 7 started promisingly — with Haliburton making three deep 3-pointers. And then he was gone. 'I think I have to be as smart as I want to be,' Haliburton said before Game 6 last week. 'Have to understand the risks, ask the right questions. I'm a competitor. I want to play. I'm going to do everything in my power to play. That's just what it is.' Haliburton, part of the team that won Olympic gold at the Paris Games last summer, was using hyperbaric chamber therapy, massage, needle treatments, electronic stimulation, special tape and a wrap to help treat the calf strain. He said after Game 6 that his treatment was going on virtually around the clock. John Haliburton told ABC sideline reporter Lisa Salters that his son was surrounded by family and watching the game in the Pacers' locker room. 'He said that Tyrese is doing as well as he can be under the circumstances,' Salters said on the broadcast. Injuries have been a huge factor in these playoffs. Boston star Jayson Tatum was wheeled off with a right Achilles tendon tear that essentially ended any realistic hope the Celtics had of defending the title they won last season. He will surely miss at least some of next season as well. Milwaukee's Damian Lillard also tore an Achilles tendon in the Bucks' first-round series against Indiana. Golden State's Stephen Curry ran out of time before his injured hamstring could allow him to return to the Warriors' second-round series against Minnesota. If the Los Angeles Lakers' season had gone past the first round, LeBron James would have been sidelined with a knee sprain. James was watching Game 7 and immediately posted his reaction to Haliburton's injury on social media. It was a one-word expletive, which didn't need much explanation. For Lillard, for Tatum — and now, quite possibly, for Haliburton — the issues will linger into next season or rob of them of the chance to play in 2025-26 entirely. ___ AP NBA: recommended

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton suffers right leg injury in NBA Finals. His father says it's an Achilles

Tyreek Hill making 'full-court press' to keep Jalen Ramsey a Dolphin
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is pulling out all the stops to keep his teammate Jalen Ramsey in the Dolphins' defensive secondary. Hill was a featured guest at Fanatics Fest in New York City on Saturday with former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel leading a Q&A. Manziel asked the wideout about trying to keep Ramsey in Miami as the Dolphins and their star cornerback continue to seek a trade partner. Hill told Manziel and the crowd that he was going to see the seven-time Pro Bowler next week. "Full-court press. I'm getting Ramsey back in a Dolphins jersey," Hill said. "I don't care what they say, tampering, whatever. We need Ramsey. He's a dog, he's one of the best corners in the league, great leader. A great teammate too." 🎥 Tyreek Hill vows to get Jalen Ramsey back on the Miami Dolphins 👀 (@cheetah) #PhinsUp TYREEK HILL: Dolphins WR's scheduled race with Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles canceled In April, Ramsey and the Dolphins mutually agreed to part ways. Miami announced at the time it was permitting the star cornerback to seek out a trade partner, though no trade has materialized in the two months since. Among interested parties are the Los Angeles Rams, the team Ramsey previously played for from 2019 to 2022 and the team with which he won a Super Bowl in 2021. In early May, Rams head coach Sean McVay told SiriusXM radio host Adam Schein that he still thinks very highly of Ramsey as a player and that he's kept in touch with the cornerback in the years since the Rams traded him to Miami. JALEN RAMSEY: Rams, Raiders among landing spots for Dolphins CB Last week at Rams minicamp, McVay conceded that there were still "obstacles" in a potential move to re-acquire Ramsey via trade. "Definitely don't want to rule anything out because we're always open-minded to onboarding and acquiring quality players and people like him if we're able to do that," McVay said, "but there would be some obstacles that are real that are in the place of maybe preventing that from occurring." One of the most notable obstacles may be Ramsey's three-year, $72.3 million extension that he with the Dolphins ahead of the 2024 NFL season and runs through 2028. According to the contract comes with a $16.7 million cap hit in 2025 and grows each year: $25 million in 2026, $26.8 million in 2027 and $36.2 in 2028. Ramsey, 30, initially joined the Dolphins in 2023 after the Rams traded him for tight end Hunter Long and a third-round pick in that year's draft. The three-time All-Pro cornerback tore his meniscus in his first training camp with Miami but re-joined the active roster ahead of Week 8. He recorded an interception in his first game with the team. Since then, Ramsey has started in all 27 games he's appeared in with Miami. In the last two seasons, he's recorded 82 tackles, 16 pass defenses, five interceptions and a sack.
