Tyrese Haliburton away from Pacers after getting shingles

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton will be away from the team for a little while.

Haliburton, who is already out all of this season as he recovers from a torn Achilles, will likely be away from the team for the next two to three weeks after coming down with shingles. Head coach Rick Carlisle made the announcement prior to Sunday’s game against the Mavericks.

“He will make a full recovery,” Carlisle said. “This happened over the last few days.”

Carlisle said Haliburton had some “odd symptoms” as he was meeting the team in Washington D.C. for the Pacers’ series against the Wizards. The guard ended up coming back to Indy.

Carlisle said he has spoken with Haliburton a few times since the guard was diagnosed with shingles. He said Haliburton is “always in a good mood.”

“Certainly, wish him a speedy recovery,” Carlisle said.
