Jade Jones makes emotional posts after boyfriend Tyrese Haliburtons Achilles injury heartbreak
Tyrese Haliburton will have a long road back to the basketball court after his Achilles tear in Game 7 of the NBA Finals — but he won’t be alone.Haliburton’s girlfriend, Jade Jones, will be there with him “every step of the way,” as she posted to her Instagram story Monday evening.The caption accompanied a heartbreaking photo where Jones is comforting Haliburton, crushed after his injury, while his face is in his hands“A run we will remember for a lifetime,” she added.“You are so amazing!”Haliburton had scored nine points in just seven minutes of Game 7 against the Thunder before he went down in pain while trying to drive to the basket.The Pacers struggled without their star point guard, primarily in the second half, and wound up falling 103-91 to the Thunder in Oklahoma City.It was a grueling ending to what was otherwise a fabled playoff run for Haliburton and Indiana.“What a year!!! What a bittersweet ending to it all,” Jones posted to her Instagram feed.
“This team is SO special, beyond words.You have made a historic run for the Pacers that generations will be talking about!!! This season has made such a special imprint on my heart.
One of the best things we have ever been a part of!!! Just know how much it meant to all of us.”The 25-year-old hit four game-winning or game-tying shots throughout the Pacers’ run that led them to just one win shy of winning a title — something that has never been done in Indiana’s franchise history.While they didn’t quite get the ultimate job done, Jones knows that she and Pacers fans will never forget the run to the Pacers’ first Finals appearance since 2000.“The smile you have put on people’s faces, the joy & excitement you have brought to this city.You have been nothing short of amazing,” she also wrote in her Instagram post.
“You are so selfless, brave, and strong! We have the best support system around us who will pull you through this! I will always be your biggest cheerleader...
