Rotowire
Turner (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Turner has appeared in three straight games for the Pacers, but he's back on the injury report with a familiar issue.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Deemed questionable for Wednesday
Rotowire
Turner (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Turner sat during Monday's loss to the Raptors due to right calf soreness, though coach Rick Carlisle said Tuesday that the big man will likely return to the lineup for Wednesday's game, according to Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star. With both Isaiah Jackson (Achilles) and James Wiseman (Achilles) out for the year, the club will turn to Enrique Freeman if Turner is unable to return.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Expected back Wednesday
Rotowire
Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said that he expects 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
Rotowire
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 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 just logged 40 minutes against the Heat on Sunday, so the Pacers may err on the side of caution for the second leg of this back-to-back set. If Turner is unable to play, both Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin could potentially step into much larger roles.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Explodes for huge double-double
Rotowire
Turner provided 30 points (10-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 134-127 win over the Mavericks.
Turner turned in an excellent performance. He dominated inside and got the job done on the perimeter, drilling a season-high five three-pointers in the win. 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. Turner can post high-scoring totals when he gets opportunities beyond the arc, but 30 points is a rarity. He met that threshold only twice during the 2023-24 season.

Pacers' Myles Turner: Questionable against New Orleans
Rotowire
Turned (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Pelicans.
Turner was also deemed questionable for Indiana's previous contest before ultimately being ruled out with a left ankle sprain. If Turner is unable to suit up against New Orleans, Isaiah Jackson should draw another start.
Turner (ankle) will miss Wednesday's game versus Boston, Tony East of SI.com reports.
Turner was a weapon against Boston in last year's postseason, but Isaiah Jackson will be tasked with enlarged duties Wednesday. Turner's injury marks a significant absence for a Pacers squad still looking to settle into rhythm on both ends.
