Expected and bad news from the United States.

Tyrese Halliburton will miss the entire next season after injuring his Achilles tendon in the NBA Finals.

The Indiana ace underwent surgery and is expected to be out for eight to nine months.

"I have no doubt he will come back stronger. The surgery went well, but he will not be on the field next season. We don't want to take any chances. Other players will have the opportunity to progress," said Pacers general manager Kevin Pritchard.

Indiana was defeated by Oklahoma in the finals, and Halliburton was injured in the first quarter of game seven...

Halliburton is the third player to tear his Achilles tendon last season - after Jayson Tatum and Damian Lillard.

They will also not be on the field in the 2025/26 season.
