Myles Turner's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (finger) received an X-ray on his hand after dislocating his right index finger during Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The X-rays came back negative for any fractures which means a drastically shorter recovery time. Head coach Rick Carlisle said that they don't know his status just yet for their next game on Wednesday, but it sounds like it shouldn't be too much missed time for Turner. The Pacers are trying to hang on to the sixth seed in the East and avoid the play-in tournament right now. If Turner has to miss a game, Jalen Smith would receive the biggest boost.

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (hand) was forced to exit early during Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The big man injured his finger during his contest, but it's not believed to be a significant issue. The Pacers will hold him out of the rest of this contest, which is a shame because Turner was on a defensive tear before exiting. Jalen Smith figures to play a bigger role in the second half of this contest. The Pacers should have more information on Turner following Monday's game.

The Indiana Pacers have removed center Myles Turner (illness) from the injury report ahead of Thursday's contest versus the Detroit Pistons. An illness held Turner out of Indy's final tilt before the All-Star break, but he's cleared to play in the first outing of their four-game homestand. The 27-year-old two-time blocks champion is in a great spot against Detroit, who are surrendering the fourth-most points per game (122.0) this season. Make sure Turner is inserted in all season-long fantasy lineups.

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) remains questionable heading into Sunday evening's game against the Hornets. The 2015 No. 11 overall pick has been battling a sprained left ankle, keeping him off the floor for Friday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Jalen Smith (back) was also unavailable, so Isaiah Jackson entered the starting lineup and finished with 10 points, eight rebounds, and two steals in 27 minutes. Nonetheless, Turner was at shootaround on Sunday morning, meaning his odds of playing have seemingly improved. But if Turner or Smith miss Sunday's contest, Jackson is still worth considering for deep-league fantasy lineups.

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Turner was splitting up the center minutes with Jalen Smith during Thursday's game. However, the big man picked up a left ankle injury during the contest. As a result, Turner will be held out of the second game of this back-to-back set. Smith figures to move into the starting five and see increased playing time. He'll be worth a look as a streaming choice for Friday's slate. Also, Isaiah Jackson could see more playing time but he's not as appealing of a streaming option.
