ProFootballDoc Guests on Pat McAfee Show to Talk Tyrese Haliburton Injury
2 min read • June 25, 2025
SIC's own ProFootballDoc, Dr. David Chao made an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show to discuss the Tyrese Haliburton Injury on Monday, June 23. Dr. Chao discussed how early he recognized the injury as a red flag and what concerns there might be if Haliburton insisted on playing through it. By video analysis, it appeared that Tyrese was dealing with Achilles tendonitis, that evolved into a calf strain. Dr. Chao has said before, of other calf strains, that a rupture is a risk. This has been seen in Kevin Durant, who did rupture his Achilles in a similar fashion in 2019.
Dr. Chao also went into great detail of the anatomical nature of the injury, as well as the potential timeline for Haliburton’s return.
Dr. Chao often makes appearances on The Pat McAfee Show as well as other platforms to discuss impactful injuries in the NFL and NBA and the world of sports at large.
