Harry s blockade before 7 is a major injury? 17 Paul s great wisdom: Career is more important than winning the championship

On June 24, ESPN famous reporter Shams reported that Thales Halliburton was diagnosed with a tear in his right Achilles tendon and he will fly to New York for surgery.

Halliburton posted a long article on his personal social media to reveal his feelings. The central idea is that he does not regret appearing with an injury. He will work hard to become stronger and will not defeat himself. He knows that countless fans around the world are supporting him and he has completed the Achilles tendon repair surgery.

After Halliburton underwent Achilles tendon repair surgery, New York Post reporter Mark Stein revealed that Halliburton is expected to miss the entire 2025-26 season, in other words, Halliburton will enter the recovery period for more than a year.

4 players have suffered a major Achilles tendon injury this season: Damian Lillard, Thales Halliburton, Jason Tatum, and Dezontae Murray. Halliburton's major injury is actually hopeless to avoid, because he was injured in a calf in G5, and he limped at the time, but he refused to rest in G6 and still appeared with injuries.

Halliburton's father revealed in an exclusive interview with NBA reporter Mark J Spears that Halliburton was injecting a closed injection before the tiebreak: "His calf has always been in a very fragile state, but after the closed injection, you can't feel the pain at all, so you think you can still get it. As a result, if you don't do a good job of a movement, your injury worsens."

The closed injection is a powerful anti-inflammatory and pain relief. After the injection, the nerve stem, nerve plexus, nerve root, and sympathetic nerve will be paralyzed. In this context, the risk of injury will increase by geometric multiples.

The Rockets once led 3-2 for the 2017 Westbrook Finals. Unfortunately, Paul was injured in his right leg hamstring in G5. After the G6 Warriors won at home, they will return to Houston in the tiebreak. Many media suggested that Paul make an injection and appear in a closed position, but Paul did not inject a closed needle in the end. In the end, the Rockets missed 27 consecutive shots in the tiebreak and were eliminated by the Warriors.

Although the Rockets were eliminated in the Western Conference Finals, Paul signed a four-year, 159.7 million yuan super maximum salary with the Rockets, and in the summer of 2021, a four-year, 120 million yuan big contract with the Suns, and in the summer of 2024, a year-on-year, 10.4 million yuan contract with the Spurs. If Paul also gets closed, he will suffer greater injuries, will Paul still have this money to make?

Halliburton's career path may be different from Paul. After all, Halliburton has signed a five-year maximum salary contract with the Pacers for 244 million yuan. Next season is the second season of this contract. However, Halliburton is only 25 years old and suffered a major Achilles tendon injury at the age of 25. His athletic ability will inevitably decline. Will he have a second maximum salary contract in the future? Paul has really had great wisdom in 2017, and his career is much more important than the opportunity to win the championship.
