Tyrese Haliburton on if he regrets playing in play 7 of the finals: ‘No. Devil no. ‘

“They are the finals, friend. I worked throughout my life to be here and I want to be out there to compete. It helps my teammates in every possible way.”

That was Tyrese Haliburton after suffering a magnetic resonance imaging on the tense calf and before the game 6 of the NBA finals last June. He knew the risk he was running, he even called Kevin Durant – who had tried to play a calf injury in the final with the warriors and torn his Achilles – for advice. Haliburton passed the game 6, but at the beginning of the game 7, the worst possible result took place: Haliburton went down with a torn Achille. However, he has no regrets, He told Logan Paul and the crew on the impulsive podcasts (Hoopshype for Punta del Cappello).

Haliburton: “I had some close friends, family and mentors in my life call me after play 5 and I said: ‘Hey, I closed.'”

Interviewer: “Would you like to have taken that advice?

Haliburton: “No. Devil no. Devil no. I will be honest, I called KD after getting my magnetic resonance imaging after game 5. [your Achilles]? “He said,” No, at all, “he said,” he said, “I didn’t …” I was like, “Okay.” Yes, I wouldn’t have changed anyway, so I’m glad he said it. He made me feel a little better. But no, I don’t regret it, brother. “

Haliburton also said 15 months would pass from the injury before playing again in a game, echoing what the Pacers said, that he is out for the next season.

In a conversation on the podcast that covers a wide range of arguments, Haliburton also has laughed at the idea that the NBA is scripted or made up.

“Well, the problem is that I play for the Indian Pacers. So, if the NBA would have passed the championship, the last two teams for which they would probably have configured it would be the Indian Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder.”
