Haliburton has followed the recoveries of Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard and Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, who also suffered Achilles tendon injuries in the playoffs and could miss all of this coming season. Tatum recently called the first six weeks after the injury “probably the toughest six weeks of any point in my life.”

Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton provided an update Saturday on his recovery from an Achilles tear he suffered in June. 'I’m in no rush,' he said.
