Is the end near for the Indiana Pacers, or is it just your little heart breaking watching Tyrese Haliburton? Either way, things don’t look good for Indianapolis or their superhero. Didn’t he say he is a little stiff and a little sore? Yes, those were his exact words on Saturday. “But I’ll be ready to go for Game 7 next,” Haliburton promised, and the world believed every syllable like he was preaching some new gospel.Yet here we are, trying to understand what went wrong when the 25-year-old point guard fell on the floor writhing in pain. Clearly, that nagging calf injury that almost took him out of Game 6 of the 2025 NBA Finals didn’t look promising. And as Hali left the arena and walked down the tunnel, that pindrop silence at Paycom Center spoke a story of shock, fear, and pain. You could tell it wasn’t just the Indiana fans, but Thunder Nation, too. And John Haliburton in his glassed cabin seemed to be in tears. This is so sad.

Pascal Siakam stands tall amid the heartbreak, voice steady through the pain. He’s not just leading, he’s pleading. “We’re still in this,” he urges, pushing past his own sorrow. No more forcing it—trust the game, trust each other. Even in despair, he carries hope like a torch.This is a developing story….The post Pascal Siakam Consoles Pacers With Emotional Message as ESPN Confirms Tyrese Halliburton’s Game 7 Status appeared first on EssentiallySports.
