NBA Star Tyrese Haliburton Details “Miserable” Face Shingles Diagnosis

by

Tyrese Haliburton’s health isn’t on the rebound just yet. 

Almost two months after Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle revealed that Tyrese Haliburton had shingles, the basketball player has spoken about how he’s been managing the illness.

Tyrese, 26, shared in a video on X that he’s been dealing with a difficult illness. He explained that his father had a similar problem in his stomach during the Finals, but Tyrese’s illness is affecting his face.

“I lost part of my eyebrow,” he added, “My eye is always swollen from itching it.”

After suffering an injury that ended his season during the 2025 NBA finals, the athlete was diagnosed with shingles, a painful viral rash that can appear anywhere on the body, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Tyrese was recovering from a torn Achilles tendon and preparing to play basketball again, but a new diagnosis unfortunately delayed his recovery.

He thought about his ongoing nerve pain and how he had to wear glasses to keep from scratching his face.

The Pacers point guard said his eye was almost completely closed, and his face was covered in something that caused intense itching, according to what he was told.

He explained that he didn’t start itching right away. “I first had a really bad rash,” he said. “The itching didn’t begin until after the rash cleared up, and it’s been awful ever since.”

Tyrese has been dealing with an infection for several months, and he recently explained how much it’s been affecting his everyday life.

He admitted he’s been struggling, saying, “Most days are difficult, and it’s been a really tough time.” He’s been trying to feel better with medication, but unfortunately, it hasn’t helped much, and he’s still working through it.

He admitted he’s gained weight and noticed people talking about it online, but he feels there’s not much he can do about it.

Tyrese is taking a break from basketball to recover, and he’s found it hard to cope with not knowing exactly when he’ll be back to playing.

As he put it, “I hope it goes away soon but there’s no way to really know.”

Nikki Bella, known from Total Bellas, shared that a breast implant moved after being hit in the chest during a wrestling match with Piper Niven in July 2025.

She reassured her sister, Bella Garcia, that they would get the issue resolved eventually. She explained to the doctor that as soon as she finalized her divorce and retired from her current job, she would return to address the problem and ensure everything looked its best. She wanted to make sure things were ready for future use and didn’t appear neglected.

Lupita Nyong’o, known for her role in 12 Years a Slave, received a diagnosis of uterine fibroids—non-cancerous growths in or around the uterus—in 2014, the same year she won an Academy Award for her performance in the film.

She didn’t reveal her diagnosis until 2025, sharing on Instagram that she had been privately struggling with it for over ten years.

She explained that growing up, many girls are told that periods are supposed to be painful, and that pain is just something women have to deal with. This often leaves people feeling like they’re going through a difficult experience on their own, when it’s actually something many women share.

 

Okay, so I’ve been hearing from Riley Keough, and she recently shared something pretty relatable! She ended up in the hospital because of a hernia – basically, a little gap that can develop in your abdominal muscles. And the surprising culprit? Tight pants! It just goes to show you, comfort is key, even when it comes to fashion. I always tell people, if something feels restrictive, it probably isn’t worth it in the long run.

She messaged Suki on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “You haven’t tweeted in ages!” She then jokingly added, “I’ve been meaning to tell you… I think those super-tight pants I wore six months ago gave me a hernia, and I’ve been too afraid to say anything.”

The former star of Beverly Hills, 90210 shared in April 2025 that he was recovering from surgery to repair a nearly ruptured appendix.

He added, “I’m on the road to recovery. It’s not an easy process. This is my first major surgery.”

A Racing Louisville midfielder fell to the ground early in her team’s game against Seattle Reign on September 14th at Lumen Field in Seattle.

After receiving initial medical attention on the field, Savannah was taken to a nearby hospital for more tests. League officials reported she is currently in stable condition and is alert.

Adam Devine revealed that injuries from being hit by a cement truck at age 11 continue to cause him problems even now.

“It’s been incredibly difficult,” Devine shared on the In Depth With Graham Bensinger podcast in 2025. “I experience spasms throughout my body, and doctors recently told me I was facing a life-threatening situation—within the last year, actually.”

He explained that his pain is intermittent, saying his body has some minor imperfections and isn’t quite working as it should.

A former contestant on The Bachelor went to the hospital because of severe back pain. He said he was in so much pain he had to crawl to get help, and the pain got worse during a road trip with a friend.

He described a strange tingling sensation that still lingered in his knees and toes as of a March 2025 podcast episode of Trading Secrets. He explained that just a few weeks or a month prior, he’d been squatting nearly 300 pounds, but now he couldn’t even do a single squat without falling over, feeling as though he’d had a stroke.

But with the help of a back specialist and some steroids, he added, “We’re on the mend.”

In February 2025, the former Even Stevens star revealed she was shot in the face during a birthday outing with her husband, Brendan Rooney. They were on a trip to go clay pigeon shooting when the incident occurred.

In an Instagram post, she explained that she was accidentally shot in the face by someone at a party who fired a weapon unsafely. Thankfully, @thebrendanrooney quickly helped her, evaluated her injuries, and drove her to the hospital. She was hit five times, and one bullet came dangerously close to her right eye – less than an inch away.

The Kim Possible actor explained that a small piece of something got stuck behind their eye. Doctors have advised against removing it with surgery right now, and they’re keeping a close watch on the situation, as their vision is currently normal.

The actress expressed immense gratitude for surviving a frightening experience. She shared her deep love for her daughters, husband, family, and friends, emphasizing how quickly life can change. She urged everyone to cherish their loved ones and hug them often, as life is precious and unpredictable.

Amy Schumer is grateful for the internet, despite its often harsh nature, because it ultimately helped her discover a health issue. After noticing she looked “puffier” during interviews, Schumer was surprised to see doctors commenting on her appearance online. They suggested she might have Cushing syndrome, potentially caused by steroid injections. This prompted Schumer to realize she had been receiving steroid injections for past procedures like a breast reduction and C-section. She later learned she had a form of Cushing syndrome that would resolve on its own, which she called “the greatest news imaginable.” Schumer shared that she wouldn’t have known about the condition if not for the online commentary.

In December 2024, an AHL player suffered a skate cut during a game and needed 25 stitches to close the wound.

In March 2022, Hailey Bieber experienced a frightening health scare while having breakfast with her husband, Justin Bieber. She suddenly developed stroke-like symptoms, initially unable to respond when Justin asked if she was okay. She then realized she couldn’t speak and the right side of her face began to droop.

Although her speech and facial movement eventually returned, Hailey went to the hospital for tests. Doctors discovered she had experienced a small blood clot in her brain, which they identified as a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack).

Further testing at UCLA revealed Hailey had a hole in her heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). This hole allowed the blood clot to travel from her heart to her brain, causing the TIA. Hailey has since undergone a successful procedure to close the PFO and is now doing well.

The same year Hailey faced a health issue, Justin also experienced one. In June 2022, he revealed he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which caused temporary paralysis on one side of his face. This forced him to cancel the rest of his Justice World Tour.

In a video posted to Instagram, Justin explained that the virus affected the nerves in his ear and face, preventing him from blinking, smiling, or moving his nostril on one side. He also shared that it had become increasingly difficult to eat.

Fortunately, the paralysis eventually went away. Hailey shared on Good Morning America that Justin was recovering well and feeling much better, adding that they were grateful he was going to be okay. It had been a frightening and unexpected situation, but he was expected to make a full recovery.

Jamie Foxx recently shared details about the serious health scare he experienced in April 2023, which he had initially kept private. In his 2024 Netflix special, What Had Happened Was…, Foxx explained that he suffered from a severe headache one day and lost consciousness before he could take an aspirin. He doesn’t remember the next 20 days.

He initially saw a doctor who gave him a cortisone shot and sent him home, but his sister, Deidra Dixon, was worried and took him to the hospital. Doctors discovered he had a brain bleed that led to a stroke.

After surgery, twenty days later, on May 4th, Foxx woke up in a wheelchair unable to walk. He then went to Chicago for rehabilitation and therapy. He expressed deep gratitude for the prayers he received, saying, “I needed every prayer.”

The reality TV star said she temporarily stopped breathing while running in the first challenge of the NBC competition show.

She shared on the show Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser that her memory of the event was fragmented. She recalled hearing a helicopter, feeling like she was floating, and then seeing her grandfather before everything went dark. After that, she saw light, which led her to realize she had died that day.

She explained that her organs were failing. She hadn’t known she had rhabdomyolysis, a condition where the body essentially starts to shut down.

Emilia Clarke, known for her role in Game of Thrones, revealed a harrowing health battle in a 2019 essay for The New Yorker. While filming the show, she experienced a severe headache during a workout, followed by intense pain and vomiting. She quickly realized something was seriously wrong, suspecting brain damage.

A hospital scan revealed she had suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a life-threatening stroke caused by a ruptured aneurysm. She underwent immediate surgery to repair it, describing the pain as unbearable. During her recovery, she experienced aphasia, leaving her unable to speak coherently.

Though the aphasia eventually passed and she was discharged after a month, a 2013 scan revealed the aneurysm had doubled in size, requiring a second surgery. This procedure initially failed, causing a massive bleed and putting her life at risk. Doctors had to perform a more invasive surgery, accessing her brain directly through her skull.

Fortunately, Emilia is now fully recovered and says she is “at a hundred per cent.”

Cori Broadus, Snoop Dogg’s daughter, recently shared how thankful she is for her family’s support. In January 2024, she suffered a stroke and immediately reached out to her loved ones, sending a text and a picture. She told TopMob News that everyone quickly came to her aid.

Cori ended up staying in the hospital longer than expected due to other health issues. While she could have gone home after the stroke, she was also dealing with lupus and kidney problems.
