Summary
- Tyrese Haliburton experienced a severe shingles outbreak while on vacation.
- The illness caused migraines, a facial rash, and eyebrow hair loss.
- Haliburton favors Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for MVP over Victor Wembanyama.
Tyrese Haliburton recently discussed his challenging experience with shingles on the NBA on Prime pregame show. The Indiana Pacers guard described the illness as unexpected and debilitating, beginning with severe headaches during a vacation.
What initially seemed like migraines prompted Haliburton to seek medical attention, leading to a diagnosis of shingles. The condition resulted in a prominent facial rash and partial eyebrow hair loss, symptoms that persisted for weeks and were described by Haliburton as 'awful' and 'no fun.'
During the discussion, Hall of Famer Dirk Nowitzki humorously compared Haliburton's partial eyebrow loss to a stylistic choice. Haliburton indicated he was nearing the end of his recovery.
The conversation then turned to the NBA's Most Valuable Player race. Haliburton offered his perspective, ultimately siding with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander over Victor Wembanyama. While recognizing Wembanyama's historic season, Haliburton emphasized Gilgeous-Alexander's consistent dominance as his preferred choice.
