Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (illness) is questionable to play on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. The 29-year-old big man was a late scratch for Monday's action against the Sacramento Kings due to an illness and has not yet fully recovered. Thomas Bryant moved into the starting five on Monday but had a fairly quiet evening with seven points and seven rebounds in 22 minutes. Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker provided frontcourt backup off the bench, making many fantasy managers happy by combining for 34 points. If Turner remains out on Wednesday, it will once again take a collective effort to make up for his absence.
Indiana 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.
Indiana 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.
Indiana 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.
Indiana 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.
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (neck) is expected to rejoin the action on Thursday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Ahead of the All-Star break, Turner suffered a cervical strain and missed three games. On Tuesday, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle told reporters that Turner should be good to go for Thursday's game. His return will bump Thomas Bryant back to the bench. Bryant posted 13.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in 27.5 minutes during his run as a starter. In a bench role, he is a non-factor in fantasy basketball.
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (neck) has been ruled out through the All-Star break. He will miss a second consecutive game on Tuesday against the New York Knicks and will remain sidelined for the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday versus the Washington Wizards. Thomas Bryant is expected to continue as the starting center while Turner is on the mend, with Jahlil Okafor serving as his backup. The former top-3 pick has just signed a 10-day contract with the Pacers.
Myles Turner In Danger Of Missing A Second Consecutive Game
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (neck) carries a questionable tag ahead of Tuesday's action against the New York Knicks. Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle told reporters that Turner practiced in "some capacity" on Monday. However, he may be forced to skip a second straight game due to a cervical strain. With Turner sidelined, Thomas Bryant logged his third start of the season in Saturday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. He has averaged 14.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.3 steals as a starter in 2024-25.
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (neck) is out on Saturday against the Lakers. The 28-year-old has averaged 15.1 points, 6.6 boards, and 1.8 blocks this season, all down from the 2023-24 campaign. But he's only missed four games leading up to the meeting with the Lakers, so that's been a plus for fantasy managers. Until Turner is back on the floor, whenever that may be, Thomas Bryant, averaging 15.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.0 steals in two starts this season, will presumably continue to fill the hole at the five. Obi Toppin, amassing 10 points, six boards, and one steal in Thursday's win over the Clippers, should also remain in line for more playing time.
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Turner only played five minutes on Thursday before exiting the game due to a possible concussion. The Pacers are calling his absence a neck strain, so Turner appears to have avoided going into concussion protocol. The absence of Turner does leave the Pacers shorthanded for Saturday's game. The expectation is that Obi Toppin and Thomas Bryant will be asked to play bigger roles in the rotation. Both players appear to be viable streaming options with Turner sidelined. Bryant posted a double-double on Thursday, so fantasy managers might want to play the hot hand.
