Halliburton, Lillard, Tatum, and the three "Achilles tendon injuries" are expected to be decided!

In the finals of the Pacers against the Thunder, they lost the "tieth tiebreak" and lost the championship, injured the "stars" Halliburton, Lillard, injured the first round of the playoffs, and Tatum, the star of the Celtics. Without exception, they are all "Achilles tendon injuries". The three stars are expected to be determined, and their status is unknown. The impact on the team is still unsure.

"Achilles tendon rupture" mainly comes from fatigue, accumulation of injuries, long recovery period, and even affects career. Durant and Wilkins have all encountered such injuries!

The finals between the Thunder and Pacers, they tied 3:3. "Grab 7" will determine the title. As the star of the game, Halliburton played with an injury and played for only 7 minutes. He fell to the ground without a confrontation during a breakthrough. In the first half of G5, Harry Potter was injured in a breakthrough and returned to the locker room for treatment. In the 6th game, he persisted with an injury, scored 14 points, 5 assists, and 2 steals. The Pacers won the opportunity to "tie seven". In order to play the final game and relieve pain, Harry Potter got a "closed injection", which resulted in the worsening of the injury. Fortunately, he has completed the surgical treatment at present. He is only 25 years old. He should recover smoothly. When will he be able to return to the court? What state can be maintained? It is hard to say at the moment. The Pacers' game is "losing his wife and losing his troops" and is really "not cost-effective"...

Lillard was troubled by injuries during the regular season and returned hastily in the playoffs. On April 29, the Bucks played against the Pacers G4. Lillard wanted to grab a long rebound in the first quarter. He fell to the ground without a confrontation and was helped to leave the court with a cover of the Achilles tendon. He was then diagnosed with a "tearing of the left Achilles tendon". He completed the operation on May 3. The recovery time given by the doctor was 8 to 10 months. Therefore, Lillard's return time is probably in the playoffs next season, but as a veteran, he is 35 years old, it is still unknown whether he can return smoothly.

Last season, Lillard averaged nearly 25 points per game, had more than 7 assists, and had good rebound protection. It was the team's "engine". Faced with this unexpected situation, the Bucks are indeed difficult to deal with.

The "Celtics"'s persistence and waiting finally achieved success. They won the championship last season, but this season's Celtics became the loser, and Tatum's injury became a key turning point. On May 13, the Celtics played against the Knicks. In the last quarter, in a fight without physical confrontation, Tatum suddenly fell to the ground, "injured his right foot" and was pushed back to the locker room by the staff in a wheelchair. On May 14, Celtics It is officially announced that Tatum completed the "right Achilles tendon rupture repair surgery" and is expected to recover from 9 to 12 months, which means that Tatum may miss the entire 2025 to 2026 season, but no one can give an accurate answer when he will be able to return to the team. In order to deal with this situation and avoid major adjustments in the team's lineup, Holiday was traded to leave the team. Due to Tatum's absence, Fazula is also difficult to deal with in the new season of the Celtics.

Pacers, Bucks, Celtics, and three "No. 0" players have been troubled by Achilles tendon injuries this season. The expectations are expected and may even affect their careers. It seems that this "No. 0 luck this season" is indeed worse...
