The NBA playoffs highlight talent and endurance, but this past season was dominated by Achilles tendon injury, which is frustrating. Big names like Tyrese Haliburton, Damian Lillard, and Jayson Tatum all suffered the same setback.
Unfortunately, this isn’t new territory for basketball fans. Remember the 2019 NBA Finals? Kevin Durant tried to push through after sitting out with a calf injury. His return was short-lived—one quarter into Game 5, he suffered an Achilles tendon rupture that kept him off the court for years.

This season, clear plastic heels are trending in Hollywood, appearing in the leaf-covered streets of Houston, thanks to stars like Kim Kardashian and Victoria Beckham.
