Tyrese Haliburton commented on the rise of Achilles injuries in the NBA, asserting that there may not be a clear answer beyond bad luck. Recovering from his own Achilles tear sustained during the NBA Finals, Haliburton highlighted the tendency for people to seek definitive explanations for injuries. He noted that factors like the number of games or minutes played might not be the primary causes. Similarly, NBA commissioner Adam Silver shared this opinion. Haliburton's injury occurred during a playoff game while he was managing a calf strain, emphasizing the unpredictability of sports injuries.
"I think that there's like a notion when guys get injured or when this has happened so many times that everybody thinks that they have the answer to why this is happening."
"So I don't think that anybody has necessarily the answer. I think injuries are just bad luck sometimes and that's just what happened."
"After Game 6, I'm like 'it's done, it's gone, adrenaline is going to get to me, I'm going to be good.' I go to Game 7, I feel nothing. I feel great going into the game."
