The NBA is using artificial intelligence and has convened a panel of sports medicine experts to study the uptick of Achilles tears happening in the league, Commissioner Adam Silver said in an ESPN interview before the NBA Draft Wednesday night.

Tyrese Haliburton's dream NBA Finals Game 7 start quickly turned into a nightmare as the Pacers star exited the winner-take-all title game Sunday night in the first quarter. The Pacers ultimately lost Game 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, and it was confirmed Monday that Haliburton has a torn right Achilles tendon.

The Indiana Pacers can be expected to make multiple free agency moves as they attempt to maintain competitiveness for the upcoming season.
