President of the Basketball operations of Indiana Pacers Kevin Pritchard, said Tyreso Haliburton would not play next season due to the injury to Achilles tendon.
Pritchard said the club would not risk his health and that fans do not need to cultivate hope for his earlier return to the field.
According to him, surgery has passed successfully, and recovery is doing well for now. Pritchard believes that Haliburton will return even stronger and better.
He also stressed that Haliburton will be difficult to pause the entire season with respect to his obsession with basketball. He added that the club does not want to take the risk, and that this will be an opportunity for other players to make a step.
Haliburton led Pacerse to the Great NBA finals in the last season, but he suffered a severe injury in the first quarter of the Seventh, the decisive matches of the Final Play-Offa v. Oklahoma City Thunder. Oklahoma got that game with the result 103: 91 and thus stuck the title of the champion.
Before injuries, Haliburton was on the play-off on average 17.7 points and nine assists per game, with 46% of the success of the shot from the game.
In his absence, Andrew Nombhard is expected to take over the role of starting playmaker, while Bennedict Mathurin will enter the starting lineup as a back shotter. TJ McConnell will remain a key player from the bench on the Playmaker position, and will join him Kam Jones from the University of Marquette, chosen in another round of this year’s draft.
