Pacers' Myles Turner: Expected back Wednesday
Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said that he expects Myles Turner (calf) to return to the lineup Wednesday in Houston, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.While Turner sat out Monday's 130-119 loss to the Raptors due to right calf soreness, the Pacers turned to 6-foot-7 undrafted rookie Enrique Freeman to step in as an undersized starter at center. The Pacers' center depth has been tested with both James Wiseman and Isaiah Jackson having suffered season-ending Achilles injuries, and Carlisle indicated that the Pacers are expected to formally sign Moses Brown on Wednesday to aid a depleted frontcourt. While the addition of Brown could prompt the Pacers to ease up on Turner's workload over the balance of the season, the 28-year-old likely won't face any major restrictions with his playing time if he ends up being cleared to play in Houston as anticipated. Turner had averaged 34.0 minutes per game over his last eight appearances before missing Monday's contest.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Won't play vs. Toronto
Myles Turner (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.Turner is coming off a season-high 34-point outing across 40 minutes during Sunday's 119-110 win over the Heat. Given Turner's heavy usage, the Indiana Pacers will sit the veteran center for the second leg of a back-to-back Monday, though he should be available to play Wednesday against the Rockets. With Turner sidelined, Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker are the top candidates to see increased minutes, as the usual backup centers -- Isaiah Jackson (Achilles) and James Wiseman (Achilles) -- are both out for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign.

Turner had yet to post a double-digit rebound total coming into Monday's game, so the double-double was certainly a step in the right direction.
