Open Extended ReactionsIndiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton said he didn't regret playing through a calf strain that led to him tearing his right Achilles tendon in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
"I'd do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers," Haliburton wrote in an emotional statement posted to social media Monday night.
Haliburton suffered the calf strain in Game 5 and, despite being listed as a game-time decision, played on it in Game 6.
"I don't 'have to' go through this, I get to go through this," Haliburton wrote.
So, give me some time, I'll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton."
