Tyrese Haliburton
April 2026
Tyrese Haliburton says shingles, not his torn Achilles recovery, is now the biggest issue he must overcome this offseason. He said the illness caused nerve pain, weight gain, swelling and partial eyebrow loss, even though his Achilles rehab itself is tracking well. Haliburton told reporters he is ready from the leg-injury side but shingles delayed his return to five-on-five work until last week. He said the illness has brought more day-to-day suffering than expected, though he remains confident he will be ready after a full summer of work.
