NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Wednesday the league is studying a rash of recent Achilles tendon injuries, days after Indiana's Tyrese Haliburton became the latest player to be hobbled by such an injury in game seven of the NBA Finals.

Without Haliburton in Game 7, the Pacers will need the rest of the team to step up. It starts with Eastern Conference Finals MVP Pascal Siakam, but they'll also count on Myles Turner's defense and paint presence, Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith's shooting, and T.J. McConnell's spark off the bench.

Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton has now gotten confirmation of a torn Achilles. Haliburton suffered the injury during Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
