Indiana Pacers All-Star Tyrese Haliburton shared another video on his rehabilitation path, showing him putting the ball between his legs before dunking.
Haliburton tore his Achilles tendon in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals, causing him to miss all of last season. Then a shingles diagnosis in February knocked what to that point had been a steady recovery process off course.
The illness -- a product of the re-activation of the virus that causes chickenpox -- attacked his face and his right eye in particular. He suffered from nerve pain, lost the hair in his eyebrow and wore glasses just to keep himself from relentlessly scratching at it. He tried multiple medications that hadn't cured the disease as of mid-April when he met with the media for an end-of-season exit interview and the medication led to him gaining weight to a point to where he was heavier and more out of shape than he'd ever been in his life.
Haliburton said on the July 20 Pat McAfee Show that he felt great, having put shingles -- including the extra 15-20 pounds he gained -- behind him.
