Back on Track: Tyrese Haliburton Lights Up Pacers' Season With 10+ Points in Return!
Tyrese Haliburton was regularly traveling with the Pacers despite being out for the year until he got shingles. He's back on the road with the team
MILWAUKEE -- Injured Pacers All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton is back with the team for their road trip to Milwaukee and New York after being separated for the last three weeks with shingles, coach Rick Carlisle said. Haliburton is out for the season after tearing his right Achilles tendon in Game 7 of the NBA Finals in June but he had been on the sideline for almost all of the Pacers' games up until the All-Star break. "He's doing alright," Carlisle said.
"He's with us. Coming off of shingles is no fun because it gets better and it goes away, but you have itching and so he's dealt with some stuff with that. But he's on the trip and he's doing much better.
" Shingles is a viral infection that causes a painful rash. It comes from a re-activation of the varicella-zoster virus. The one that causes chickenpox.
