25 -year -old Heliberton, playing through a stressed right calf, an injury that was suffering from the loss of Indiana in Oklahoma City.
The game was tied on the clock on 16–16 and 5:03 with the game, Heliberton accepted a pass outside the 3-point arc and pushed his right toe ball to start a drive for the basket. Instead of maneuvers of Shai Gilgius-Alexander’s past, he fell on the floor in pain while capturing the ball. While the Thunder went on the other way for a sting, Heliberton postponed the floor with his hand several times and was unable to put weight on the foot while going to the locker room.
Without Heliberton, Pacors were dropped from 56–43 in the second half as Oklahoma City won the championship with a 103–91 victory.
