Haliburton had been playing through a Grade 2 right calf strain, knowing that the risk of further injury was higher playing through the injury. He was helped off the floor and into the locker room in excruciating pain. The team quickly ruled him out, and just before halftime, Haliburton&#8217;s father confirmed to ESPN&#8217;s sideline reporter Lisa Salters that it was, in fact, an Achilles injury.<\/p>\n<p>Haliburton&#8217;s reaction at the moment told the entire story about the injury&#8217;s seriousness.<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-0\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DLOS-yax1oD\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=740&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fatozsports.com&amp;rp=%2Fnfl%2Fkansas-city-chiefs-news%2Fchiefs-patrick-mahomes-three-word-reaction-pacers-tyrese-haliburtons-game-7-nba-finals-achilles-injury%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwY2xjawLF_jFleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFGZ2Q3WFBndFBESno2dGZ0AR#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A43998.69999998808%7D\" height=\"916\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-0\" data-rhp=\"1\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-13=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"chiefs-qb-patrick-mahomes-reacts-to-tyrese-haliburton-s-injury-with-consecutive-posts-on-x\">Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes reacts to Tyrese Haliburton&#8217;s injury\u00a0with consecutive posts on X<\/h2>\n<p>Mahomes is an avid NBA fan, supporting his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/dallas-mavericks\">Dallas Mavericks<\/a>, but he&#8217;s also a sports fanatic and rarely misses the biggest of games.

He&#8217;s dealt with ankle injuries during the NFL postseason, returning from a high ankle sprain quicker than most would to give his team the best shot at a Super Bowl berth. No one faults Haliburton for giving it a go, but it&#8217;s a brutal outcome for a young star in the NBA.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-embed-card--list\">\n<div class=\"m-card--media\"><a class=\"m-card--image-link\" tabindex=\"-1\" href=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/nfl\/kansas-city-chiefs-news\/chiefs-roster-moves-georquarius-spivey-signed-ufl-houston-roughnecks-mandatory-minicamp-tryout\/\" rel=\"\"><picture class=\"is-loaded\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/.image\/ar_16:9%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cg_faces:center%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_220\/MjE1NzM2NTAzMzYyMzk3NzE1\/usatsi_24101205.webp 220w, https:\/\/atozsports.com\/.image\/ar_16:9%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cg_faces:center%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_320\/MjE1NzM2NTAzMzYyMzk3NzE1\/usatsi_24101205.webp 320w, https:\/\/atozsports.com\/.image\/ar_16:9%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cg_faces:center%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_640\/MjE1NzM2NTAzMzYyMzk3NzE1\/usatsi_24101205.webp 640w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"220px\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/.image\/ar_16:9%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cg_faces:center%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_220\/MjE1NzM2NTAzMzYyMzk3NzE1\/usatsi_24101205.jpg 220w, https:\/\/atozsports.com\/.image\/ar_16:9%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cg_faces:center%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_320\/MjE1NzM2NTAzMzYyMzk3NzE1\/usatsi_24101205.jpg 320w, https:\/\/atozsports.com\/.image\/ar_16:9%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cg_faces:center%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_640\/MjE1NzM2NTAzMzYyMzk3NzE1\/usatsi_24101205.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"220px\" \/><\/picture><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0QB Patrick Mahomes took to social media to react to Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton&#8217;s injury in the first quarter of Game 7 of the&#8230;
