Haliburton comforted his teammates while using crutches.

After the Thunder defeated the Pacers to claim the championship, before the NBA Finals trophy ceremony began, the broadcast first showed the defeated Pacers' side. Haliburton, who had to leave the game in the middle of the first quarter due to injury and did not return, welcomed his teammates in the locker room hallway using crutches. Meanwhile, franchise legend Reggie Miller offered heartfelt encouragement to the team for their outstanding season. T.J. McConnell, who scored 16 points and grabbed 6 rebounds in the game, couldn't hold back his emotions in the presence of his predecessor.

After the game, T.J. McConnell expressed that he was not surprised by Haliburton's gesture of welcoming teammates in the hallway, saying, "That's just the kind of teammate he is. He puts himself aside; after facing such an injury, he could have wallowed in the locker room, but he didn’t do that. We were all heartbroken over the loss, but he came out to greet and comfort us. That’s Haliburton for you."
