Pacers coach: G Tyrese Haliburton has shingles
Indiana Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton, already missing this season because of a torn right Achilles tendon, was diagnosed with shingles, coach Rick Carlisle said Sunday.
Haliburton, 25, sustained the Achilles injury in Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the eventual champion Oklahoma City Thunder in June.
He has attended most of the Pacers' games this season. Carlisle said Haliburton will be away from the team for about two to three weeks.
"It's a very painful thing," Carlisle told reporters Sunday.
