US EditionPacers Star Tyrese Haliburton Now Has Shingles. Here’s What It Is
Haliburton, sidelined by an Achilles injury, faces a brief 2-3 week absence due to shingles, a viral infection caused by the chickenpox virus, coach Rick Carlisle said.
- On Feb 22, 2026, Rick Carlisle announced that Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton was diagnosed with shingles and will be away for 2-3 weeks.
- The varicella-zoster virus reactivated, and symptoms began recently while he was meeting the team in Washington, D.C., Carlisle said.
- Despite his injury rehab, Haliburton has remained visible and upbeat, sharing videos of workouts and staying ahead of schedule during recovery as a 26-year-old.
- Without their star point guard, the Pacers are 15-42 this season, and shingles as a brief detour should not dramatically alter his Achilles rehab, team said.
- Earlier, the Pacers said there was no chance he’d return this season, and recovery timelines for Achilles injuries typically range from six to 12 months, framing Haliburton's long-term rehab progress.
