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.
I think his coach mentioned that he's not going to play for the entire season as he might just end his career if he forces himself to play. And that's why he's passing on for this season and will be back for 2026-2027 season. Who knows what's next. I remember last 2023-2024, Chet Holmgren got also injured and didn't play for his first season and it was a quick thing since he's still young and just this recent season, he's got his first title.
