Indy Experts Weigh in on Haliburton's Injury, Spike in Achilles Tendon Tears in NBA

  • NBA commissioner Adam Silver discussed the recent spike in Achilles injuries during a June 25, 2025 interview with ESPN’s Malika Andrews.
  • Silver explained the league convened sports medicine experts and started using artificial intelligence to study why seven Achilles tears occurred this season versus zero last year.
  • Key players like Tyrese Haliburton, who injured his Achilles in Game 7 of the 2024-25 NBA Finals, plus Jayson Tatum and Damian Lillard, also suffered similar injuries this season.
  • Silver noted, “We're taking it very seriously,” and said factors may include intense offseason training and early-age sport specialization among youth athletes.
  • The NBA plans to investigate prevention strategies using AI analysis and expert guidance to address this unusual injury increase and its impact on teams and players.
