INDIANAPOLIS — Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton is out of surgery on his right Achilles, which he tore during Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

In the post on Monday night, Haliburton is seen smiling in his hospital bed with his right leg wrapped, making a heart with his hands.

“Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense,” Haliburton wrote.

Following the surgery, Haliburton says his foot feels like dead weight, but the emotional toll is what hurts the most. Haliburton writes that despite the injury, he doesn’t regret his decision to play and would do it again.

“And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special,” said Haliburton.

In his post, he apologized to the Indiana Pacers fans and vowed to fight to bring them back to the top.
