Meanwhile, Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton has been diagnosed with shingles. Coach Rick Carlisle said 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 few 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. 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.
