Tyrese Haliburton is recovering from an injury that he sustained during game No. 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals. The 25-year-old basketball player was already working with a strained calf before the start of the game. So, it may have just been a matter of time before it worsened. After Tyrese was taken off the court during the January 22, 2025 game, his Indiana Pacers teammate T.J. McConnell praised him.
“That’s just who Ty is. To go down like that, be selfless and just continuing to cheer for us,” T.J. said, per several outlets. “Even though he can’t play, I think that just speaks volumes to who Tyrese Haliburton is, one of the greatest human beings I’ve come in contact with.”

As of 2025, Tyrese has a net worth of $20 million and earns a salary of $42 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
In the days leading up to the seventh game of the NBA Finals, Tyrese was managing a leg strain, but he forged ahead. After Indiana’s loss in game No. 5, the athlete spoke to reporters about his decision to continue playing.
“I mean, it’s the NBA Finals,” he pointed out, according to Yahoo! Sports. “I’ve worked my whole life to be here and I want to be out there to compete. Help my teammates any way I can. I was not great tonight by any means, but it’s not really a thought of mine to not play here. … If I can walk, then I want to play.”
