NBA players react to Tyrese Haliburton's heartbreaking injury

Tyrese Haliburton shortened his game 7 in the most brutal way.
Indiana's All-Star Guard started in the first quarter of the game, starting in the first quarter of Game 7, a bubble start – 9 points, 3-5 in the field, 3-4 in three-point shooting.
Tyrese has handled a tight right leg footstep in Game 5 and knows the risks of playing in Games 6 and 7. (Hello, Kevin Durant 2019).
In a harmless scene, the ball is passed to Harry and you can see his leg buckle/pop up from under him without touching.
In the heartbreaking scene, you see him immediately knowing the damage he caused when he cries and slams his fist on the floor.
