“I’d beat myself up if I didn’t give it a chance. I just wanted to be out there and fight… I wanna be out there with my brothers to compete.” This was Tyrese Haliburton’s loud message before Game 6 of the NBA Finals. He suited up for the team, then forced a Game 7 in the Finals. In fact, even in game 7, Haliburton scored nine quick points to start the game. Unfortunately, that turned out to be the only good news for the Pacers fans as they saw their superstar winching in pain in the PayCom Center. A moment so dire that not just the NBA superstars but even NFL superstar, Patrick Mahomes, chimed in with support.
The Chiefs’ superstar has been a long-term Dallas Mavericks fan. Yet has been very active with sharing his thoughts about the NBA playoffs in his off-season. He even reacted to Haliburton’s dagger against the Knicks in Game 1. However, that was full of joy, and this time his message was only to pray for the Pacers superstar. It happened midway through the opening quarter. In an attempt to get past Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Haliburton seemingly lost his footing and fell hard on the floor.
As soon as the 2x NBA All-Star went down in pain, Patrick Mahomes first tweeted, “No way man….”. This was quickly followed by “Prayers up man… .” The reply showed Tyrese struggled to hold back tears as Tyrese got carried to the locker room by Pacers staff.
