Jade Jones, the girlfriend of Indiana Pacers superstar Tyrese Haliburton, shared a heartwarming post on Instagram after he suffered a devastating Achilles tear in Sunday’s Game 7 loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Tyrese Haliburton tore his Achilles in the first quarter of Sunday’s decisive game and did not return. On Monday, the Pacers received the awful update that he tore his Achilles and will likely miss all of next season.

With Haliburton out for most of the game, the Pacers struggled to generate offense and fell 103-91 in Game 7. MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander took over in the second half as OKC outscored Indy 56-43 in the final 48 minutes to claim the franchise’s first championship.

On her Instagram story, Jade Jones shared a photo of herself comforting a crushed Haliburton with captions reading, “every step of the way” and “a run we will remember for a lifetime, you are so amazing!”

Sadly, Tyrese Haliburton was the third NBA superstar to suffer a torn Achilles in the 2025 postseason. Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard and Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum also suffered the crushing injury, and both will likely miss all of 2025-26 as well.

 

If Haliburton had been healthy for the entire game, the Pacers may very well be celebrating their first championship right now. For now, he can only focus on a full recovery and getting himself ready for 2026-27.

Tough Finish Doesn’t Take Away What Tyrese Haliburton & Pacers Accomplished In 2025

It wasn’t the end the Pacers wanted, but Sunday’s crushing Game 7 defeat doesn’t take away what the group accomplished. Indiana proved that last year’s run to the Eastern Conference Finals was no joke, taking down the Bucks, top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers and the pesky New York Knicks to reach the NBA Finals.

Rick Carlisle has built a special culture in Indiana. With Haliburton, Pascal Siakam and Aaron Nesmith under contract through 2026-27, this team’s title window isn’t closed by any means.

Social Media Is Sending Their Prayers To Clint Eastwood Today

Clint Eastwood turned 95 recently, but it hasn’t been an easy year for the legendary actor and director.

On Tuesday, fans across the country poured out messages of support as news spread about his recent struggles. Eastwood has been mourning the sudden death of his longtime partner, Christina Sandera, who passed away from a heart attack earlier this year.

The Hollywood icon has kept a low profile since her passing. For fans who’ve followed his career for decades, seeing Eastwood go through this personal loss has struck a chord. Though the actor has rarely been seen in public in recent months, his son Scott Eastwood shared a welcome update that gave many people a reason to breathe a little easier.

Fans Rally Behind Eastwood

Scott Eastwood, in a recent interview, reassured fans that his father is holding up. “He’s doing good,” he said. “He’s a survivor, a trouper. He was born coming out of the Great Depression, and then he was young during World War II. He saw a lot of struggle.” That perspective seems to be carrying Eastwood through yet another chapter of hardship.

 

Supporters didn’t hesitate to show their love. Social media lit up with tributes, memories, and heartfelt messages. Many highlighted not only his contributions to film but also his resilience as a person.

“There are literally hundreds of reasons why a man doesn’t get better with age,” one fan posted on X.

Another fan commented, “HE IS NEVER GONNA STOP!!!!”

Another fan chimed in, “I hope he blesses us with his presence for many more years!”

Photographs from December 2018 show Eastwood attending the premiere of The Mule with Sandera by his side. The two had been together for years, and her sudden loss clearly left a mark on him. Though the grief remains, Eastwood isn’t ready to slow down completely. In an interview with Kurier on May 30, he reflected on aging with intent. “There’s no reason why a man can’t get better with age,” he said. “And I have much more experience today. Sure, there are directors who lose their touch at a certain age, but I’m not one of them.”

Clint Eastwood, who has eight children- Laurie, Kimber, Alison, Francesca, Kyle, Kathryn, Scott and Morgan- continues to lean on family during this time. For fans, the hope is simple: that he keeps creating, keeps going, and, most of all, keeps finding strength in the days ahead.
