April 2026

Tyrese Haliburton says shingles, not his torn Achilles recovery, is now the biggest issue he must overcome this offseason.

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.
