Kevin Durant' fingerprints were all over these NBA Finals, and it's not just because he was once the best player in the history of the team that eventually claimed the championship. Nor was it because Durant's torn Achilles in the 2019 finals showed us the perils of playing through a calf injury as Haliburton was attempting to do.

Indiana Pacers superstar point guard Tyrese Haliburton suffered a torn right Achilles tendon after going to the floor in pain during the first quarter of Sunday night's Game 7 and not returning, the team confirmed Monday. The Achilles tear was first reported by ESPN's Shams Charania.
