Myles Turner Approaches Double-Double in Loss to Blazers
6 years agoIndiana Pacers center Myles Turner was one rebound shy of a double-double on Monday against the Trail Blazers. Turner scored 10 points and snagged nine rebounds in the Pacers loss. He shot 5-for-12 from the field and struggled from the free-throw line, going 0-for-4 from the charity strike. He was solid on the defensive end, however, recording a steal alongside three blocks. Turner has yet to make the big strides that many were hoping for. He's averaging 12 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game. Turner is one of the best shot blockers across the league but until he makes strides on the offensive side of the ball he won't be able on the same level as the top big-men in the league.

Myles Turner Sidelined On Monday
4 days agoIndiana Pacers center Myles Turner (illness) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Going into Monday's contest, he had only sat out once in the last 20 games. However, Turner was added late to the Pacers' injury report due to an illness that will keep him out of the lineup. With the big man out of action this evening, the team's frontcourt will likely rely on Thomas Bryant and Obi Toppin to soak up some minutes.

Myles Turner Off The Injury Report For Wednesday
2 weeks agoIndiana Pacers center Myles Turner (hip) is off the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Mavericks. He missed Monday's overtime win over the Timberwolves because of a hip contusion. As a result, Thomas Bryant took over in the middle, finishing with 10 points, seven rebounds, two blocks, and one steal. But with Turner back on the floor, Bryant won't be relevant for fantasy managers. On the other hand, Turner could be in line for an uptick in scoring tries, considering Tyrese Haliburton (back) and Pascal Siakam (personal) may not suit up. In addition, the Mavs are still without Anthony Davis (adductor), Dereck Lively II (ankle), and Daniel Gafford (knee). Kai Jones (quadriceps) is questionable, meaning Dallas may remain undersized underneath the basket.

Myles Turner Misses Monday's Matchup
3 weeks agoIndiana Pacers center Myles Turner (hip) will not be available for Monday's clash against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He will exit the lineup due to a hip contusion. Turner's absence will likely give a starter's role to Thomas Bryant, who has previously averaged 14.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 3.0 assists in the first unit this season. The frontcourt is also without Pascal Siakam (personal) for Monday's game, which means Obi Toppin and Tony Bradley could also get plenty of minutes on the floor.

Myles Turner Questionable Against Minnesota
3 weeks agoIndiana Pacers center Myles Turner (hip) is questionable for Monday's encounter with the Timberwolves. Turner was on the floor for both halves of Indiana's back-to-back on Friday and Saturday, combining for 32 points and 11 rebounds. Unfortunately, he landed on the injury report because of a bruised hip, meaning he may miss his first game in over a month. If Turner can't get on the floor, Thomas Bryant, averaging 14.2 points and 8.4 boards in five starts this season, should see streaming attention from fantasy managers. Bryant would also draw value interest from DFS participants, considering Pascal Siakam (personal) won't play, and Tyrese Martin (back) is questionable.
