Tyrese Haliburton's Achilles tear in the NBA Finals was one of the most disheartening injuries we've seen in the league. For it to happen just a few minutes into a Game 7 right after Haliburton had gotten off to such a fast start -- nine points in the first five minutes -- just added to the already heartbreaking situation.

Kevin Durant has deemed himself the "Achilles guy" as he's become a lifeline for NBA players who tear their Achilles like Durant did in 2019. This year, it's Tyrese Haliburton and Jayson Tatum he's been advising through their recovery journeys.
