Haliburton says no regrets after Achilles tendon surgery

The 25-year-old posted a message on X with himself in a hospital bed making the shape of a heart with his hands after undergoing surgery in New York on Monday. "Man. Don't know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable," Haliburton wrote. "I've worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense." Haliburton played with a calf strain for the Pacers in Sunday's winner-take-all game seven of the NBA Finals against Oklahoma City.
