This is a very bad decision for their team to risk their star player health that will cost his total career in the future. He will received negative criticism regardless if he will play or not if they lose the game so he should just sit on the bench and trust his teammate.
He can also just play on crucial time like 4th quarter and very minimal minutes every quarter to lessen his foot pressure.
You have just ended Haliburton's career there if he does that even by force lol.
He tore his Achilles and not just a simple foot pressure. He might not even stand properly the whole season. And even let's say he can play, the crucial time is the most physical part of the game, as every ball possession is a must to score.
