Tyrese Haliburton to be Away From Pacers Following Shingles Diagnosis
INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton has been diagnosed with shingles.
Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said on Sunday that Haliburton will be gone from the team for a few weeks.
“It’s a very painful thing, and he’ll likely be away for at least two or three weeks,” Carlisle said.
Shingles is a skin rash caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus. Symptoms include burning, tingling or numbness, and a rash.
Coach Carlisle expects Haliburton to make a full recovery.
“I’ve talked to him a few times and he’s always in a good mood,” said Carlisle. “He’ll get through it.”
Haliburton has been out the entire 2025-26 season due to a torn Achilles tendon he suffered in last year’s NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Pacers currently have the worst record in the Eastern Conference at 15-43.
